Method
- 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.
NoteThe fudge needs to be firm before baking — refrigerate for faster setting if needed.

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.
NoteDon't overbake — the fudge center should stay soft and flowing when you cut into it.
- Step 4Slice and serve
Let the cake cool slightly, then cut into slices. The fudge filling will flow out as you serve.
NoteServe warm for the best molten effect.
