This chocolate malva is my go to dessert when I want something indulgent but don't have hours to spend in the kitchen. The whole thing comes together in about an hour, and honestly, most of that time is just the oven doing the work for you. Dark chocolate is packed with antioxidants, so you can almost convince yourself this rich, gooey pudding cake is good for you. The beauty of this recipe is how simple it is with ingredients you probably already have at home. Serve it warm with vanilla ice cream and watch everyone's faces light up.

In a small pan, heat the cream, swirling occasionally, until steaming. Put the finely chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl with a small pinch of salt, then pour over the cream. Leave to sit for 1 minute, then whisk together until combined and thick. Using a skewer, poke holes in the cake all the way to the bottom. Pour ½ the chocolate sauce over the cake and allow to absorb completely. Serve with the remaining chocolate sauce and a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
