Hmmm, apparently a chocolate cake like this is not for everyone.

We at Cinema Culinair are of course huge fans of Binging with Babish, the youtuber who recreates all kinds of recipes from films in a perfectionist way and explains them clearly. Above is his famous Chocolate Lava Cake, which he also makes with two special guests: director Jon Favreau and culinary director Roy Choi. Below is Babish’s recipe, but translated and split into parts.
