- Ah yes, the humble chocolate lava crunch cake. It's our first cake to cross off the list on the but better series, and I think we've got a good shot.

Hello fellow Vietnamese.
All jokes aside, josh should make a series where he over complicates simple foods
It should be called “But Why?”
yes but no
@@tamarafonseca5012 yes but yes
Maybe “Because Why Not?” would be a better series name
Uh, the recipes in this particular video are as simple as possible for producing something flavorful. I don't know if that was in reference, though
Well yes but no
Back in highschool, early college, I worked at a dominos, and this probably isn’t a surprise to anyone, but we literally just keep a box of the Lava Cakes in the freezer and when someone orders one we toss it in the oven to heat up. We didn’t make almost any of our food from scratch. So tbh, if you make your own it 99% of the times will be better since you’re actually “making” it lol.
I haven't had anything except for Dominos to fill that craving for chocolate lava cake.
Tbh, I freeze my homemade ones. You can't possibly eat a dozen of them in one sitting (even in my family of 5). They're too rich, on the sweeter side... and we usually have them with vanilla ice cream on the side. So bake them cakes, freeze the leftover ones, then pop them in the microwave for 2 minutes and good as new.
@God Sounds amazing. Is the garden big? Sounds like it would be because of all of the sauce made.
@God Wow.
I know I shouldn't be surprised but WHAT! My mind is blown.
I made the underbaked one for my girlfriend's birthday and she cried of joy.
Thank you so much man!

Referring to French as "fancy speak" might be the most American thing to ever be written
Really, right? God, America, we've got to do better with our education.
I wish people took this seriously. All we care about is social media, relationships and politics. We need to worry about our education more or else we're going to fail.
At least france isnt real 😌
@@ellatizzy9726 Too late, America is already the Land of the Dumbs.
I mean to be fair, I feel like our strong suit isn’t our intelligence but our determination to get something done. That’s why we have progressed so far even though the education system has failed a lot of Americans.
Personally, I add some coffee (even a good instant is generally fine) to most things that I make with chocolate. It adds a rich, dark touch of bitterness that makes the whole thing taste more chocolatey. (Not so much that you taste the coffee, though. It's the same idea as you adding salt to something, but not so much that it tastes salty.)
You mean grid coffee power or brewed coffee pour into it? That is sound interesting.
@@user-dw5ns8ul3k Either freshly brewed espresso or a good quality instant coffee, depending on the recipe. Grounds are too gritty.
yeah its the same idea as devils food cake. That idea being; coffee makes chocolate taste like heaven but also probably give you the lowest lifespan you can get because you arent going to stop eating it
Level up that trick with instant espresso, I use it in all my chocolate cakes and clients love it (I did a couple tests to see if there was a difference between instant coffee vs espresso, espresso really was better)
I used instant espresso in a glaze; dangerously delicious.
as a french, i love to see americans cook homemade, fresh dishes or desserts with good ingredients. you guys have way much more food items to cook with than us and it's sm fun every time i see american people exploring different ingredients and creating super sophisticated dishes, it's a shame that you have so much fast food and junkfood everywhere bc it stops many people to cook themselves and explore new things (not blaming anyone tho!). everything you cook must have a really rich flavor. and as someone with an ed (not bed) it doesn't trigger me at all like junkfood does, i will eat this not caring about the calories at all of this is super greatly made and with love. i'm so happy when i see people enjoying cooking and creating super rich and flavorful dishes, it's so nice man, please never stop! you also have a strong personality which makes you seem so cool and fun to be around, sending you much love!
As a former Dominos employee, LITERALLY EVERYONE WHO WORKS THERE IS STONED AT ALL TIMES

Hi yes I also used to work there and I can also confirm this statement
That how it is at all fast food restaurants. (Besides Chick fil a I think)

@@Papalapotato couldn’t u jus use chocolate with a lower cacao percentage for the homemade one.
Wot?
This now become my favorite video of "But Better" because it actually shows to me that it is a REAL taste test lol
My sister told me that one time she heard me screaming in my sleep " ITS FUCKING MOLTEN". I'm very proud of my self
Lmao
😂
IT'S FUCKIN RAW!!
I personally really like the lava cakes from Domino's. I like that they are completely lava in the middle with only a slight crust on the outside. I did hear from a website that they accomplish that by using cake and cookie crumbs to first make the "crust" and then filling the center with a thick chocolate syrup, then adding more crumbs mixture to the "bottom" (which would actually be the top before they turned it upside down). I'm not sure if this is true, however, for the Domino's lava cake there are "cake crumbs" and "cookie crumbs" listed in the ingredients... the fact that they have such a thin crunchy layer of "cooked" cake makes me think it's probably fairly likely that that's how they do it, especially since the "cookie crumbs" and "cake crumbs" are in fact listed in the ingredients for it...
Same I eat them with cookies and cream Ice cream Best combo
Dominos Lava cake>Mcdonalds entire menu Just a opinion don't start a war
@@ammar_editz1673 Just make this recipe. You won't regret it I promise you. I made some slight alterations to it and nowadays I literally make it all the time. XD

Josh becoming the very flakey salt he loves so much when vicram picks the dominos one 😂
i was obsessed with lava cakes a couple of years back, especially when served with vanilla ice cream on top, and now I'm hella tempted to make this for christmas
"I like can't stand dark chocolate, sorry."
Joshua: YOU HAVE ANGERED THE CHOCOLATE GODS!
2:25
I am poping
Add sugar he said
I like the look of Domino's chocolate lava cake better ( I like the darker color). But I'm sure yours taste better and I sure love this channel.
You could probably do a recipe with some dutch cocoa powder.
@@sarahr.1076 Dutch cocoa powder is what makes it red
Joshua using melted chocolate rather than cocoa powder is probably why some people would prefer the dominos version. Melted chocolate is way different than coco powder. Melted chocolate comes with ingredients other than the cocoa products and that changes how intense the taste is and the consistency of the batter.
Dutch cocoa powder would have probably made Joshua's version way better than the dominos version but he went with the melted chocolate thing. I love dark chocolate and Dominos lava cake is dark chocolate flavored. (Down with the milk chocolate gods!)
Use black cocoa powder for the color
@@ajaymurali974 Dutched cocoa sounds like it should be more expensive or better than non-dutched cocoa powder, but it isn't. They're two things serving two different functions.
Dutch cocoa doesn't mean it came from the dutch, it means it's undergone an alkalising process known as dutching (albeit tbf the process originated in the Netherlands, which is the reasoning behind the name) This results in a much darker colour, and much much blackish/browner. The non dutched cocoa powder is closer to being red because it is light brown and not as contaminated by black in the colour spectrum.
In the process of dutching, the rich chocolately colour seen in Domino's is achieved, but at the cost of a lot of the flavour - it develops some interesting notes and characteristics, but overall becomes a lot lot lot more milder compared to non-dutched cocoa. But this is fine for domino's as their target audience judges by their eye first and then taste second - and as long as it tastes like sugar with a hint of actual chocolate flavour, they can be tricked into thinking that it does in fact contain a good amount of actual chocolate taking into account its extremely dark appearance.
Non dutched cocoa doesn't look as appealing, but has a much stronger flavour and is much more pronounced. Although it is more astringent or bitter, this isn't a great issue if, reworded what Josh as said, you aren't a little child incapable of eating bitter foods and interpreting richer chocolate flavours.

Just cooked this recipe with the Ganache. They turned out perfectly and were better than what I've received in restaurants. Excellent!
just tried the underbaked one. thank you for this recipe it was delicious!! 👍

"That's not fancy speak, that's just another nation's language."

As an American, I can agree that any language other than English is simply fancy speech. There is no other language because I am self centered.

This is the first time I watched one of your videos and it was so entertaining from start to end! Love your content!!
I had never heard of the ganache variation but it sounds like a pretty good idea.
"People dine in at Domino's? You're dining? No you're not. You're stoned."
This honestly made me laugh out loud when he said it lol
Vikram: prefers Dominos over Joshuas'
Joshua: and so I started swinging
That's the real reason he blindfolds his taste testers. 😂
I've learned so much about cooking from these videos. Wow! Thanks Papa.
I made your under baked lava cake and I even brûléed the top with a torch, served with vanilla bean ice cream and it was chefs kiss perfect!
I knew someone was gonna with the dominos one cause that fuckin thing slaps bro lmao
Fr🤤
The ones they make by me are absolutely awful. I'll never order them again, lol.
Go*
It's okay for those people to be wrong sometimes.
They “slap” because you’re an overweight, under cultured, useless lump of a human who would rather settle for the easy briquettes made from chemical rather than take 25 minutes out of his nightly mind numbing thought draining Netflix binge to make good food
Yeah yeah yeah now we all know I have no tastebuds, will keep y’all posted if I’m still employed next week 😭
Your tastebuds are valid
Your taste buds are totally valid. Dark chocolate is fine but it isn't all that great
No no my dude. Just because Joshua believes that his personal preferences are superior doesn't mean you have no taste buds. I personally find Joshua's attitude a little irritating when it comes to other peoples opinions that differ from his.
@@JaquelineWildner yeah I unsubbed today because of it. Idk its always bothered me when ppl act superior about something that is subjective. Music, food, art, movies etc....like just let people like what they like and don’t rag on them for having a different option than you! 😡
Nah bro it's okay ... milk chocolate is superior. Sweets shouldn't be bitter and nobody can change my mind 😤
Cool video man and this but and better epsoide was so awesome to watch today :]
It's really late at night and i am doing pushups while basically binge watching these videos!!
Very soothing wise sir!
“This taste cheap. Not deserving of clout.”
Me, who actually likes dominos lava cakes: Yes, I agree with Joshua.
You're allowed to like what you like, I personally disagree with Joshua on plenty of things because I don't work as a professional chef. I do know what high quality food tastes like, but I can enjoy cheaper food, and so can you
@@thefolder69 100% agree
@@abendrot___8055 yeah it really sucks, I would watch his videos way more often if he was less self-centered... Like remember his “Doritos, but better” video, he said his Doritos were better not because they taste like Doritos, but because it has a more nacho cheese like flavor, which Doritos were labeling their iconic flavor as.
@@abendrot___8055 he didn’t used to be this egotistical. It makes me a little sad someone can change that much.
Yes
As a French viewer, “eau de chocolat” made me gag on my baguette
Chocolate water lmao
Eau de chocolat, elle est bien bonne celle la 😭

Sorry for the typo, it's supposed to be "eau de toilette" based on the taste.
Mouthwatering!!! Thank you for sharing 😋👍🏻👍🏻💕
sweet lord i love these videos
I love Vikram's honesty, and sticking to his taste.
I'm sad to know this is Vikram's last appearance. We will miss you.
Did he die or something?
@@xrai. no. I’m pretty sure that Scott’s referring to the fact that Vikram didn’t like Josh’s lava cake and preferred the Dominos one. The “you gon get fired for not liking mine” joke
@@xrai. this is a joke, which I’m sure you didn’t get
@@xrai. Ha ha no. I was just joking because he liked Domino's better than Josh's.
@@osmrrdgz dang bro chill
I do mine under baked with semi-sweet Guittard chocolate, black cocoa powder, light muscovado sugar and salted french cultured butter. I also whip the egg whites separately.
I really like your recipe (ganache center version), it's more chocolate-y, doesn't have that mouth and stomach burning sweetness, my family loved that cakes, so thank you

Bro I've just recently watched most of your videos! You are sick!! Love it! I'll be visiting the grocery store for loads of items just to try some of your recipes out ! Many blessings to you!
“Oui” *swings hand at camera
I died 😂😂😂😂😂
I can relate to Vikram, people try to give me quality goods but I grew up poor so even though I no longer have to just make do with whatever, my nostalgic comfort foods are those foods so I'm just like "But you don't understand, I am trash."
Well, also, it's important to keep in mind that Hershey's is what's associated with chocolate taste for a lot of Americans. So it's not that strange that to him artisan/dark chocolate doesn't taste "like chocolate".
i grew up poorish, nothing ever fancy. always eating crock pot meals, im joining the military and people get grossed out by how i love the mres
Alsoooooo, how food tastes is one of the most subjective opinions we can hold
For me it's sensory processing issues. Processed foods tend to be my go-to because cooking can be unpredictable. I've made fried rice the exact same way on multiple occasions and it tasted different every time.
Seriously life, just let me eat my cheese crackers and peanut butter pretzels in peace.
Same I love Kraft Mac and cheese for example don't like other real cheese macaroni everyone thinks I need help when they find out.
Why do u make me smile every time
made this recipe and it was sooooo easy would definitely recommend making
As a french speaker, I can tell you that:
-it's absolutly not telling chocolate lava crunch cakes in french on the box but "crunchy chocolate cakes with a mellow heart"
and
-*eau de chocolat* means *chocolate water* . . . t a s t y
Idk man chocolate water is pretty good
chocolate water sounds weird but you do you.

My Sister was complaining until i made them, worked soo good. After the Lava Cake she walked happily away. Hats off to you! Another one for the books!

It's good that he is honest and kept the part where his friend chose the other cake.This proves he honest with all of his videos
I loved the shock when his friend choose the dominos one XD!!!

@@brygelupin9774 as someone who’s tried so many of his recipes EXACTLY to the tee, they’ve all been really good but NOTHING like the original thing he’s making. It’s always still a good meal though.
@@MichaelLives17 I 100% believe that haha (although I despise dark chocolate personally). I have made a few of his other recipes and they have turned out great. I just think he went too fancy with this one and used an ingredient that not a whole lot of people like haha
After the video: "you can kiss your paycheck goodbye"
I just made it and it was PERFECT thank you :D
For people who are thinking about making these, I definitely recommend this. I made these myself and they came out so fucking good. Although i have to say the ganache could be a little tricky because the outcome of it depends on the sort of chocolate you use. Other than that it was easy and fast to make.
A Turtle approved this chocolate lava cake

@@scrumptious5110 DUDE! Too soon...
Then he died because turtles can't eat chocolate, sadly. :(
Don't like this if you don't want to, but please just pray for turtle.
As an expastry chef, the only time ganache filled lava cake was used for large catering parties or pre-cooked cakes for large volume service. The traditional version is for a la minuté service( aka fancy service).
for those that dont speak fancy
For a second I read that as gouache. As in the paint. Then I realized it is gauche. As in poor taste.
Sorry ganache autocorret doesn't know fancy talk
This feels like Weird Al Yankovic is telling me how to make a lava cake.
this video is pure excellence
My guy really lost and then called in a different taste tester 😂
What a coward
Right? then DENOUNCED the taste tester that would have made him lose and said he liked "cocoa puffs and kraft singles", calls in someone else entirely and says "we won".
This channel is on some bullshit sometimes I swear. This man cannot take criticism and the fact that his food may not always be the best on the planet.

This whole chocolate lava cake thing probably was an underbake accident but they decided to call it a new creation to cover it up.😂
Probably exactly what happened to the Burnt Cheese Cake ... except that was overbaked ;)
I MEAN. MAYBE? But I think some fat guy just was like "what if I put just chocolate in the center?" Then tried that and it was like it almost worked... And he just kept tweaking the recipe.
"Chocolate lava cake is not just underbaked chocolate cake. That's not what makes the center molten. You take a frozen cylinder of ganache and you set it in the ramekin so that as the outside sets fully, the inside becomes molten! [smashes cake] IT'S FUCKING MOLTEN!!"
