Review of Vegan Gooey Brownie Take & Bake at Hot Cakes - Molten Chocolate Cakery by snl017

Hot Cakes serves molten chocolate cakes at their restaurants, but also sells frozen ones you can “take and bake” at home. There is one vegan option. It comes with a vegan caramel sauce and chopped nuts on the side. It’s a cute idea, however, I just don’t think the directions are clear enough to execute it well. There are two (or four) cakes in a pack, so the first one we tried the dome never got to the “done” illustration on the instructions, and I think we overcooked it. The second time, I pulled it out and the inside was WAY too gooey, like, uncooked, so we put it back in for a few minutes but both times it was beyond what the instructions said was necessary. Also both times, it was sort of just like a brownie. Maybe a little bit gooier on the inside, but mostly just a brownie. The caramel sauce was also too burnt-tasting to me. Everything at Hot Cakes is a bit pricey, so this just wouldn’t be worth it to me to buy again.
