| Chocolate Fondant (Lava Cake) Recipe |
My passion for cooking and baking has been ignited again after watching the season 2 of MASTERCHEF AUSTRALIA. I was rooting for Callum Hann, the youngest contestant in that season, simply because he's comfortable in making desserts and he seems to know flavors really well! One memorable moment was when he and another contestant made a chocolate fondant dessert!
When you hear the word fondant, you'd probably think of that thick white icing used in decorating wedding cakes. And if you've tried one, you'd definitely think it's nothing special! It's just white and very sweet. Even barely edible in some instances. A Chocolate Fondant however is not an icing, it's usually a cupcake that been baked just about enough time to solidify the edges but not the insides. In so doing, hot chocolate syrup flows out from the center when you cut the cake! A very lovely surprise awaiting the diner for that theatrical effect. After all, we always eat first with our eyes! And melted or gooey chocolate always tastes good!
