The most representative heart-warming cake of Chinese Valentine's Day - Chocolate Lava Cake

Overview

Today is the seventh day of the seventh lunar month. It is the most romantic Qixi Festival among my country's traditional festivals and is also considered Chinese Valentine's Day. What are the programs on this special day? Do you want to make a sentimental food for your dear one? Introducing the most representative heart-warming cake of Chinese Valentine's Day - Chocolate Lava Cake. Chocolate lava cake is also called lava chocolate cake, or soft chocolate cake. I like to call it chocolate lava cake. Isn’t it very vivid? Poke a hole with a spoon, and the rich chocolate slurry inside the cake flows out like volcanic lava. Take a bite and you will see the crispy outer layer, the fragrant and soft chocolate syrup, the mouth full of fragrant fragrance, and the unique pure bitterness of dark chocolate, a magical feeling and a special taste. On this special holiday, make a warm and magical chocolate lava cake for the one you love, and spend the most romantic, surprising, sweet and satisfying Valentine's Day together. The lava chocolate cake is said to be an unexpected discovery made by a pastry chef who baked the chocolate cake under insufficient heat. The inside of the cake was not fully baked, resulting in a soft center inside. The making process of this cake is very simple, but the heat is not easy to master. If you don't pay attention to it, it will be baked, and there will be no soft core effect, and there will be no lava flow effect when eating. If the baking time is not enough and the outer structure is not strong enough, the cake may lie down after being baked. Summarized an important experience: you must be familiar with the performance of your own oven. Different oven temperatures will be different. Proficient control of your own oven is the key to successful baking! It is best to have an oven thermometer, which can help you understand the temperament of the oven you are using and reduce failures caused by oven temperature deviations.
