REVIEW: Dunkin’ Lava Cake Signature Latte

What’s the best way to get your New Year’s resolutions off to a rip-roaring start?

Cake for breakfast.

As if their doughnuts weren’t enough to help live this dream, Dunkin’ has released a Lava Cake Signature Latte as part of its new winter menu. Available in hot or iced varieties, the latte is inspired by molten chocolate cakes, which release a hot and gooey chocolate center when you cut into them. (Warning: This moment usually elicits an “ooh and aah!” from bystanders as the chocolate flows freely on your plate, but attempting to recreate this effect with a beverage will result in an “Argh!” as hot liquid spills all over your jeans.)

I ordered a hot latte, which consists of espresso, whole milk, and chocolatey Lava Cake Swirl flavoring. The beverage is topped with whipped cream, mocha drizzle, and hot chocolate powder, all of which create an inviting presentation and reinforce the dessert-like nature of the beverage. Like a lava cake itself, this drink oozes chocolatey flavor. A sweet, syrupy chocolate undercurrent runs through the smooth, creamy base. Dunkin’ Flavor Swirls are known for their indulgent creaminess, and this new Lava Cake Swirl delivers a similar creamy texture without sacrificing the strength of the flavors. The Swirl pairs sweet chocolate and mocha flavors that complement the beverage’s espresso taste well.

In my drink, the intended balance of chocolate, coffee, and cream was interrupted only by an unexpected aftertaste, a lightly cooling peppermint taste. I’m not sure if this effect was due to the preparation, sweeteners, and artificial flavoring, or just a holiday candy cane hangover. The aftertaste wasn’t strong enough to ruin the drink, but it was noticeable enough to make the drink seem like a Peppermint Mocha’s distant cousin who thinks he’s too good to attend family reunions.

The Dunkin’ Lava Cake Signature Latte exists somewhere in the overlapping sections of a Venn Diagram of a mocha, latte, and hot chocolate. It’s like a milky mocha that stole its toppings from a hot cocoa bar. It represents a lava cake well, although, like many of Dunkin’s Signature items, it may be too sweet for some. For me, someone who often sees meals as obstacles to dessert, the Dunkin’ Lava Cake Signature Latte is too sweet for the everyday but perfect for days when chocolate and caffeine cravings converge.
