"Chocolate lava cake is not just undercooked chocolate cake. That's not what makes the center molten. You take a frozen cylinder of ganache and set it in the ramekin so that as the outside cooks fully, the inside becomes molten!" - Chef (2014) That said, there are two different recipes from around the same time. People enjoy both. One is more consistent, the other is easier to reproduce in a home kitchen. One method, Coulant au chocolat, designed by Sébastien Bras in 1981, uses frozen ganache. It was designed to evoke the feeling of drinking hot cocoa after a day of skiing. Method two, from 1987, is a slightly undercooked chocolate sponge cake and is the one that popularized the dish. It was found on accident - at a dinner by Jean-Georges Vongerichten the oven were overcrowded. As the chef went to apologize for the cakes being undercooked he received a standing ovation.

Do I bake? No. Do I watch every video you put out? Yes. Because they're super interesting and informative!

I’m going to be honest. The timer isn’t to let me know if it’s done. It’s to remind me to actually check on the cake 😂

I love how the perfectly baked one is just called "baked"

I love this series. I was a professional baker for several years, and it blew me away how many lifelong bakers had no idea why they do the things they do, they just followed the recipes. Baking isn't nearly as unforgiving as people think it is, if you familiarize yourself with your ingredients and techniques.

Well, at least overbaked can still be salvaged. You don't have a lava cake, just a chocolate cake! Put some frosting on it and it'd be just fine.

I thought lava cake was supposed to have a chocolate ganache in the center instead of being an under baked cake.

Lava cake isn't slightly undercooked chocolate cake! You're supposed to add ganache halfway through the baking so that it has a molten Center

You should do complete recipes on long form content it would be very cool to see how you make things and what you prefer

You're simply the best at teaching people the "How to"of baking!!! Because you explain the entire reasons of WHY and what happens IF and I've learned more from you than anyone else lol and that's A LOT considering I'm 54 years old and live in the south😏 so you can bet your DaNG biscuits, I can bake/fry just about AnYThInG in my sleep🤗 but I still learn something new when I watch YOU!

People are so stuck to there opinions, there are MULTIPLE ways to make different cakes Lava cake can be made with both frozen ganache or cake batter with pasteurized eggs or there’s even a recipie that has no eggs
Please don’t stop teaching us
