Indulge in the decadent delight of a chocolate lava cupcake, a rich, moist cake with a molten chocolate center. Perfect for a special treat, these individual chocolate wonders are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored to savor their gooey goodness.

Storage Time

Best enjoyed within 1-2 days at room temperature, up to 3-4 days when refrigerated, and can be frozen for up to 2-3 months.

Temperature

Store unfrosted cupcakes at room temperature in an airtight container. Refrigerate frosted cupcakes to maintain freshness and prevent spoilage.

Freezing

To freeze chocolate lava cupcakes, allow them to cool completely. Wrap each cupcake individually in plastic wrap, then place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator or at room temperature for a few hours. For the best lava effect, gently reheat in a microwave for 10-15 seconds before serving.

Signs of Spoilage

• Visible mold growth on the cake or frosting.
• An off, sour, or fermented smell.
• A slimy or sticky texture on the cake's surface.
