We all have those chocolate lovers in our lives. It might even be you. One of my most requested things I bake that my husband always makes disappear is my Gluten Free Dark Chocolate Molten Lava Cake. This cake gives you that melted liquid center while being its own beautiful confection.
This cake combines two sources of chocolate. Dairy-Free cocoa powder brings that true hot fudge flavor. Dairy-Free chocolate chips provide even more depth of flavor and help add to the silky texture. Is there anything better than melted chocolate?
Part of what makes this cake so unique is the addition of a cocoa powder topping that is then covered in hot freshly brewed coffee. Because the coffee isn’t mixed into the batter but instead poured over the top, you get the most amazing pudding like texture.
