  • Ah yes, the humble chocolate lava crunch cake. It's our first cake to cross off the list on the but better series, and I think we've got a good shot.

    Back in highschool, early college, I worked at a dominos, and this probably isn’t a surprise to anyone, but we literally just keep a box of the Lava Cakes in the freezer and when someone orders one we toss it in the oven to heat up. We didn’t make almost any of our food from scratch. So tbh, if you make your own it 99% of the times will be better since you’re actually “making” it lol.

      Tbh, I freeze my homemade ones. You can't possibly eat a dozen of them in one sitting (even in my family of 5). They're too rich, on the sweeter side... and we usually have them with vanilla ice cream on the side. So bake them cakes, freeze the leftover ones, then pop them in the microwave for 2 minutes and good as new.

    Personally, I add some coffee (even a good instant is generally fine) to most things that I make with chocolate. It adds a rich, dark touch of bitterness that makes the whole thing taste more chocolatey. (Not so much that you taste the coffee, though. It's the same idea as you adding salt to something, but not so much that it tastes salty.)

    I personally really like the lava cakes from Domino's. I like that they are completely lava in the middle with only a slight crust on the outside. I did hear from a website that they accomplish that by using cake and cookie crumbs to first make the "crust" and then filling the center with a thick chocolate syrup, then adding more crumbs mixture to the "bottom" (which would actually be the top before they turned it upside down). I'm not sure if this is true, however, for the Domino's lava cake there are "cake crumbs" and "cookie crumbs" listed in the ingredients... the fact that they have such a thin crunchy layer of "cooked" cake makes me think it's probably fairly likely that that's how they do it, especially since the "cookie crumbs" and "cake crumbs" are in fact listed in the ingredients for it...

      Joshua using melted chocolate rather than cocoa powder is probably why some people would prefer the dominos version. Melted chocolate is way different than coco powder. Melted chocolate comes with ingredients other than the cocoa products and that changes how intense the taste is and the consistency of the batter.
      Dutch cocoa powder would have probably made Joshua's version way better than the dominos version but he went with the melted chocolate thing. I love dark chocolate and Dominos lava cake is dark chocolate flavored. (Down with the milk chocolate gods!)

      @@ajaymurali974 ​ Dutched cocoa sounds like it should be more expensive or better than non-dutched cocoa powder, but it isn't. They're two things serving two different functions.
      Dutch cocoa doesn't mean it came from the dutch, it means it's undergone an alkalising process known as dutching (albeit tbf the process originated in the Netherlands, which is the reasoning behind the name) This results in a much darker colour, and much much blackish/browner. The non dutched cocoa powder is closer to being red because it is light brown and not as contaminated by black in the colour spectrum.
      In the process of dutching, the rich chocolately colour seen in Domino's is achieved, but at the cost of a lot of the flavour - it develops some interesting notes and characteristics, but overall becomes a lot lot lot more milder compared to non-dutched cocoa. But this is fine for domino's as their target audience judges by their eye first and then taste second - and as long as it tastes like sugar with a hint of actual chocolate flavour, they can be tricked into thinking that it does in fact contain a good amount of actual chocolate taking into account its extremely dark appearance.
      Non dutched cocoa doesn't look as appealing, but has a much stronger flavour and is much more pronounced. Although it is more astringent or bitter, this isn't a great issue if, reworded what Josh as said, you aren't a little child incapable of eating bitter foods and interpreting richer chocolate flavours.

    When dusting the ramekins so the little baby cakes don’t stick you could also use Kokoa powder if you don’t want the white flour „stains“ on the chocolate cake. I always do this when making kakao tarts, should work just as well here
