Indulge in the rich, decadent experience of a molten lava cake, a delightful chocolate dessert with a gooey, flowing center. Properly storing these exquisite treats ensures their perfect texture and flavor for your next craving.

Storage Time

Best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored for 1-2 days in the refrigerator.

Temperature

Store refrigerated at or below 4°C (40°F).

Freezing

Molten lava cakes freeze exceptionally well before baking. To freeze, place individual unbaked cakes on a baking sheet and freeze until solid, then transfer to an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 1 month. To bake from frozen, place directly onto a baking sheet and bake for an additional 5-8 minutes at the recipe's specified temperature. Baked cakes can also be frozen, but the molten center may not be as pronounced upon reheating.

Signs of Spoilage

• Visible mold growth on the cake's surface.
• An off, sour, or fermented smell.
• A slimy or sticky texture that wasn't present before.
