Legend has it that this chocolate lava cake was the result of a major culinary disaster. The dessert
was meant to be individual chocolate cakes, but a cook took them out of the ovens too soon, and the
centers where still liquefied. Since there was no time to cook them further, the chef simply introduced
the dessert as a chocolate lava cake.
