Method

  1. Step 1Make the fudge filling

    In a saucepan, combine 1 can condensed milk, 25 g butter, and 100 g chocolate. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly until smooth and thickened. Pour into a square baking pan and flatten with a spoon. Let cool completely.

    Note

    The fudge needs to be firm before baking — refrigerate for faster setting if needed.

  3. Step 3Assemble and bake35 min

    Pour half the chocolate cake batter into a greased baking pan. Place the cooled fudge layer on top. Cover with the remaining cake batter. Bake until the cake is set but the center remains molten.

    Note

    Don't overbake — the fudge center should stay soft and flowing when you cut into it.

  4. Step 4Slice and serve

    Let the cake cool slightly, then cut into slices. The fudge filling will flow out as you serve.

    Note

    Serve warm for the best molten effect.
