Happy Valentine’s Day! I hope you’re around someone you really love/like/think is funny today. If not, then I hope you’re around some chocolate, carbs, or better yet, this Salted Caramel Lava Cake.
Lava cakes are the most 90s dessert in the world, pretty sure they were served at restaurants (high and low) during the time I was wearing Doc Martens, listening to Gwen Stefani, watching Singled Out and writing angsty poetry in my bedroom.
This version has a modern twist. There’s a secret salted caramel in the center that oozes out when you cut into it. It’s rich, decadent and so very appropriate for today…and beyond!
Go over to Etsy’s blog for the full recipe! XOXO to you!

Perfection! Happy vday to my favorite food blogger ever! Thx for always making food we want to eat! You r like ‘love taza’ n ‘smitten kitchen’ wrapped in one! My addiction!! Thx babe xoxo
HAHAH! Tina, that’s the sweetest comparison ever. I love both of them. XO to you. Happy Valentines’ Day.
Mmmm this little cake is gorgeous! Love this idea!!
That looks outstanding
90’s or not, they look great! And I bet they taste great a well!
As if regular chocolate lava wasn’t good enough…this would be such a pleasant surprise to dig into 🙂
This reminds me of a cake version of the most delicious chocolate bar ever, Bissinger’s Coconut Caramel with Red Hawaiian Sea Salt. Must make.
Good gracious that sounds good.
Yet another reason why the 90s were the best decade 🙂 I feel like putting on a flannel, watching My So Called Life, and eating about 5 of these!
PLEASE DO!
This looks so delicious! 🙂 Caramel, yum! 🙂 -Marie
Ugh, this looks way too delicious!!!
Holy Mother! This looks absolutely amazing!!!
That looks freaking incredible. Valentines shmalentines, this is for love of deliciousness!
Schmalentines!
Singled Out! You just took me back!
this… was… I have no words. Divine!!! it’s scary how easy it is to whip up X_X
I skipped the whipped cream & mashed some blackberries right onto the plate before plopping that baby on there. will u be my gf???
Right? I made it a few weeks ago for me and my dude and the batter took like 5 minutes to make. It’s lightening fast. So glad you loved it! And to answer your question, yes. duh.
Uh, I’m pretty sure we were the same person in the 90s, Doc Marten’s, angst, and all. But, let’s be honest, lava cake is still friggin good. I don’t care what anybody says. Although I imagine it’s even better with caramel. Bring on the 90s dessert!
Yum!!! This is a must!
The perfect dessert recipe – serves two. Now I have to make it only so that I won’t have 10 more hanging around calling my name (if that makes any sense).
WOW, those look so perfect and so delish! I can’t even stand it!!!
Seriously, I want to thank the 90’s (and Jean-George?) for this dessert. Molten chocolate cake is my favorite! : )
Haha I actually made just a regular lava cake last night for the boyfriend, super tasty with some wild strawberry sherbet
O.M.G.! This looks to die for (or die from!) When I go to Chili’s, which is almost never, I always have their molten chocolate cake. It makes life worth living. And this one looks as good or better….be still my heart. Will have to make it.
I saw these on etsy and then coincidentally discovered your blog today! They look delicious and beautiful. Happy Valentine’s Day!! (Your blog is BEAUTIFUL may I add :))

YUM!! Lava cakes may be dated but they are SO good!
I just made my own rendition of these lava cakes, and was so surprised how easy they were! I was able to make them on a school night! Needless to say, my mom and I devoured these. Check out my post here: http://cannella-vita.blogspot.com/2013/03/dark-chocolate-lava-cakes.html
Hiya,
So my bf is coming to visit me in London so I thought of making these beauties for ‘us’ (note I say US xP ) . Only problem? Finding those salted caramels in time. Any suggestions for substitutes? 🙁
Oooh and any way of using some Baileys in this recipe?? 😛
Oh! Hmm…maybe you could add some Bailey’s to the whipped cream and top it off with that?
Ooh thanks…. and do you think I could substitute the sea salt caramels for vanilla fudge or any other soft chocolate?
Oooh thanks! And do you think I could use Vanilla fudge or any other soft chocolate instead of the caramels? 🙂
