Molten Chocolate Lava Cake
For anyone who has been on a cruise, you know the desserts onboard are to DIE for… We were on an 11-day cruise to the South Pacific recently on a Carnival ship. And I fell in love with their melting chocolate cake. I attended the Chef’s Table (Highly recommend) where the head chef SHARED their recipe.
