Ever wondered how that yummy gooey molten center will taste if not the classic dark chocolate flavor? Smoulder satisfied our curiosity by inviting the Black Box team down for a taste of their exquisitely delicious Lava Cakes in 9 fancy flavours.

Smoulder Lava Cakes are carefully handmade using premium ingredients such as fresh fruits and Barry Callebaut Belgian chocolate. Before this, none of us have never seen so many flavours of Lava Cakes!

Many of us would have had the classic dark chocolate and white chocolate lava cakes, so we find ourselves spoilt for choices in the face of so many unique flavours: Milk Chocolate Rum & Raisins / White Chocolate Matcha / White Chocolate Raspberry / White Chocolate Pistacho, just to name afew.

We tried the Classic must-have Dark Chocolate and two very unique flavours: White Chocolate Raspberry + White Chocolate Pistachio.

We were told that we could have these Lava Cakes in 3 different ways: We could have the traditionally warm Lava Cake heated in the microwave/oven, or have it chilled, or simply eat it at room temperature.

The very thoughtful Smoulder team actually did a survey with men and women to find out how they like their Lava Cakes: the men couldn't care less about how hot their lava cakes were and they love Smoulder’s Lava Cakes even at room temperature. The ladies generally prefer to have their Lava Cakes heated to perfection.

We requested for our cakes to be heated just slightly for fear that we might burn our tongues, hehe.

These are simply divine: the molten centre wasn’t exactly bursting from or flowing out of the cake, but the chocolate is so thick and rich and gooey, with the moist cake and slightly "crispy" crust.

Second on our list of favourites is the White Chocolate Pistachio flavour. You have to try this if you're a huge fan of nuts: crunchy and finely chopped pistachio nut sprinkled on top of a white chocolate cake, this is so refreshingly new and unique. The molten white chocolate pistachio is not too sweet but yet still very flavourful.

We were pleasantly surprised to find bits of raspberry fruit on the cake. Again as with all Smoulder’s Lava Cakes, it's not overly sweet and the molten center is not too runny, just the perfect texture!

Have you ever regretted having a full meal at a restaurant because after your meal your stomach doesn’t have room for desserts? At Smoulder, the Lava Cakes are bite-sized and are wonderful even as a mid-day snack!

Smoulder’s Lava Cakes are available for take-away in 3 pcs / 9 pcs Smoulder pack [below] so that you can enjoy them anytime, anywhere, and if you're hosting a dinner party and desserts aren’t your forte, simply "tabao / take away" these sinful little Lava Cakes and simply pop them into the microwave/oven for a quick reheat before serving!

Smoulder also has seasonal specials, such as moon cakes, for the upcoming Autumn Festival.

We love the bright colour tones of their snow skin moon cakes, don’t they look gorgeous?

Unfortunately, Smoulder started taking orders for their snow skin moon cakes a month ago and they were such a hit that they have already stopped taking orders, we do hope we can grab some in time next year.

If you're looking for wedding favours, baby full-month treats or corporate events, Smoulder is able to customise all that for you, hop over to their Facebook page for pictures!
