Chocolate Lava Cake

Experience the height of French dessert artistry with our spectacular Fondant au Chocolat. This isn't just a cake; it is a carefully timed, made-to-order masterpiece designed to be enjoyed fresh at our central city patisserie.

The soul of this dessert is the warm dark chocolate cake, which we bake to achieve a perfectly light exterior while maintaining a rich, flowing molten center. When you break into the heart of the fondant, the warm chocolate sauce meets a scoop of our premium, cool vanilla bean ice cream. To add a sophisticated textural element, we include a generous sprinkle of handcrafted dark chocolate crumble, offering a satisfying cocoa crunch that balances the silky textures of the cake and cream.

This elegant dessert is best enjoyed while the center is still warm, making it the perfect partner for a beautifully textured flat white or a bold espresso from our specialty coffee bar. Visit us at The Welder to enjoy your Fondant au Chocolat fresh from the oven today.
