How to make a cover for a molten cake? - Young couple in elegant outfits in restaurant while blowing in candle on small cupcake and celebrating birthday near brick wall

I recently visited a restaurant called Zuma, and they had this unbelievable chocolate molten cake. enter image description here

As you can see they have a cover on top, like a sheet of chocolate. How would one make this? I am not particularly interested on they write the name(however that would be a bonus) but just the sheet to cover the top.

Thanks in advance.

It looks like that's a chocolate transfer sheet, which is just a very thin layer of chocolate with patterns printed onto it and then baked

How do you store a lava cake?

To store chocolate lava cakes, start by allowing them to cool down completely. Then, wrap your cakes firmly in plastic wrap. Place the wrapped cakes in an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator. You can keep lava cakes in the fridge for up to three days.

What is the difference between molten cake and lava cake?

Molten Chocolate Cakes, also known as Lava Cakes, are warm individual-size chocolate cakes with oozing chocolate centres. Most recipes will simply have you undercooking a chocolate cake batter, so the outside is set like cake but the inside is raw batter that pours out like lava when you cut into it. Hence the name!

Are molten lava cakes safe to eat?

Lava cake is not just an undercooked cake. It's a unique combination of a traditional chocolate cake and a souffl\xe9. Although the center is liquid, the internal temperature still reaches 160\xbaF so it is completely safe to eat. Think of it as a custard or lemon curd.

Why does my lava cake crack?

If you add too much air to the batter, it will rise nice and tall in the pan, then deflate\u2014and crack\u2014as it cools. Beat the batter on medium speed just until it is smooth and all the ingredients are incorporated. Make sure all of your ingredients are at room temperature, which will help them combine better.
