A recent ranking of store-bought frozen cakes found that the Taste of Inspirations chocolate lava cake was the least favorable option. It was criticized for having a bland taste, resembling cheap hot chocolate mix, and a dry texture. The packaging exacerbated the issues, as microwaving the cake in its plastic tin caused it to stick, leading to structural failure. Alternative brands, such as Aldi's chocolate lava cake, received positive reviews for better design and taste, providing a more satisfying dessert option for consumers.
In our ranking of 6 store-bought frozen cakes, the Taste of Inspirations chocolate lava cake came in last place. The criteria for our ranking focused primarily on taste and texture, and this lava cake failed to deliver on both accounts.
The texture of the cake crumb was disappointingly dry, too, and while the gooey center might've been a saving grace, the magic of the molten lava was completely ruined by a majorly flawed design in the packaging.
You're supposed to microwave these individual cakes in the plastic tin they're packaged with, but the cake sticks to the tin as it's nuked, effectively destroying its structural integrity.
Other frozen lava cakes to consider include Aldi's brand, which customers praised for being easy to remove from its packaging without breaking, making for a better microwave experience.
