The Carrot Lava is the carrot version of our Lava Cake, a single portion made at Crema House in Ottawa. Instead of chocolate, the outside is a spiced carrot cake, moist with grated carrot. The centre is a soft cream cheese filling that stays liquid until it is cut. Warmed to order at the counter, the cream cheese runs out over the plate like a frosting turned inside out. It is sweet and lightly spiced, and it contains dairy and egg, so it is not vegan. There are no nuts in the recipe, though it is made in a shared kitchen. It is available daily with no notice needed, and pickup is at 14-1400 Clyde Avenue. It pairs well with a Caffè Latte, or with a pot of Classic Black tea.
