This looks luxurious and impressive, but its only 6 ingredients and so easy to make.
It takes just over 5 minutes to prepare to pop these into the oven its insane!
The peanut butter filling is optional.

I go nuts over peanut-butter anything, but you could easily just leave it out.
The sight of the peanut butter and chocolate oozing out of the cake makes me weak in the knees.
I dont bake sweet things much.

So when I do share a dessert recipe, you could be assured of two things:
1.
Its really easy; and
2.
It is worth the effort to make.

This lava cake knocks it out of the park on both counts.
I used to see photos of lava cakes in gourmet magazines and just assume it was too hard.
I think thats partly why I love this.
The thrill of anticipation.
The element of danger (ok, not danger.
The risk of failure!).
Its like all my favourite desserts rolled into one.
Also the touch of saltiness from the peanut butter is a contrast to the rich chocolate.
I was also pleasantly surprised to discover that these can be made ahead.
But even being able to make ahead a few hours is really handy when youre entertaining.
I have to sign off now.
Theres a lava cake waiting for me.
