I love to use the word lava when it comes to these cakes because that’s exactly what you get when you cut into the warm cake, a flow of molten peanut butter and chocolate lava. My mouth is watering as I type this.
Lava Cakes Sweetness
Where this may look like an over indulgent dessert, this is surprisingly low in sugar. In addition, I used half the amount of butter I usually use and replaced it with healthier peanut oil. Peanuts have a triple feature in this recipe, peanut oil, peanut butter and chopped peanuts so I don’t feel guilty when I need a little sweet fix once in a while.

These mini chocolate cakes with peanut butter filling, make for a fun dessert if you’re entertaining because they come with a wow factor when your guest cut into them. They can be prepared ahead and then only take 10 minutes to bake. You do want to serve them a few minutes out of the oven, for that lava flow. It’s all about the lava. You may want to make 2 per person, just in case. If you’ve made these Peanut Butter Chocolate Lava Cakes or any other recipe leave a comment below. I love to hear from my readers!
