White Molten Lava Chocolate Cake
White Molten Lava Chocolate Cake – ultra decadent, but surprisingly easy. Made with white chocolate & dusted with coconut flakes, flavored with almond.
I would say if there is anything better than a chocolate molten lava cake is a white chocolate molten lava coconut cake. After adequately recovering from my chocolate induce- blackout. I started dreaming up recipes to make that would put me back to sleep. It was not long enough before I stumbled upon this recipe and my heart leaped with joy…..I had found the one.
This white chocolate molten cake is simply a rich chocolate cake that is undercooked so that the center overflows with chocolate sauce. It is made out of white chocolate, coconut and laced with rum for an extra kick.
These lovely treats are so easy to make once you have the ingredients measured out. One of the great things about this recipe is that you can make the cakes and fill ahead of time, then bake when you are ready to serve. These cakes should be eaten within 30 minutes of making them. They really do not reheat well
The tricky part about this cake is baking it to the right consistency – a shorter baking time will make the cake too runny and over baking the cake will result in a moist cake with no lava. Make sure the center is not too wiggly .
I bake the cake for about 16 minutes to get the right consistency.-Wobbly inside and firm outside. Start checking after 12 minutes .No matter how it turns out – taste wise it is amazingly good. Make sure you pick a decent white chocolate bar.
Enjoy!!!

I loved it! Easy to make and delicious!!! Did have to increase the recipe…by 4 times, since my ramekins were big… it came out molten, will definitely do it again!!! Thank you for this recipe!!!
So happy to hear it was a hit. Thanks so much.
Flavor was excellent!!! I overcooked my cake (15mins). I’ll try cooking less next time. Divided between 4 ramekins, it only filled halfway – hence why I think it overcooked. Not molten at all. So tasty and the easiest molten cake I have made yet. Thanks!!!
Awesome! Thanks for the feedback.
You mentioned vanilla and nutmeg within the recipe directions, but do not mention it in ingredients.
It’s optional. If you want to include nutmeg add with dry ingredients and vanilla can be added to replace almond extract. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.
We loved the flavor especially the coconut crust, but ours didn’t come out molten. I’ll take them out earlier next time.
Tasty recipe but not better than molten lava cake.
Thanks !
Beautiful idea ! Thank you so much !
