Lava Cake Recipes

My lava cakes celebrate every stage of a dessert - the anticipation of the batter, the soft and gooey center before everything fully sets, and the finished flavor once it has baked and cooled. Instead of choosing only one of those moments, I bring them together in a full-size layer cake.

Each recipe begins with a dessert I already love, then reimagines its most irresistible textures as soft cake, creamy frosting, and a generous filling that moves through the first slice. It is my way of capturing everything we love along the way, not only the finished bake.
