- To unmold the lava cakes, run a knife around the edges of each ramekin. Place an inverted plate on top of the ramekin, then carefully flip it over, allowing the cake to release onto the plate.
- Gently lift the ramekin, revealing the beautifully lava-filled cake.
- Serve the warm chocolate lava cakes immediately, garnished with a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
- For an extra touch of elegance, you can add some fresh berries on top as a garnish.
