The namesake product of Autumn Martin’s company, the famous decadent and organic take-and-bake molten chocolate cakes, snagged the gold at the Summer Fancy Food show in New York!

Hot Cakes’ Dark Decadence Organic Molten Chocolate Cake won a sofiTM Award—the awards given by the Specialty Food Association—in the “Cookies, Brownies, Cakes, or Pie” category, chosen by an expert panel last Monday, June 29, in New York City.

In 2014, Hot Cakes’ S’mores Kit won in the “Best Food Gift” category and the Smoked Chocolate Chips and Vegan Salted Caramel Sauce were both finalists—Martin and the team were delighted to have their work recognized again this year.

Martin is honored and humbled that her creation has received this prestigious, national award, and is excited that the fine food community is applauding an organic dessert.

“The molten cakes have a special place in my heart—they are what started Hot Cakes and it was wonderful to see them recognized,” says Martin. “They epitomize a lot of my beliefs: the glass jars are reusable and recyclable, the cakes are certified organic with just three simple and impactful ingredients, and, best of all, you can bake them around a camp fire!”

Drop by the shop to celebrate with the team—there’s a special malted milk chocolate molten cake on the summer menu, served with honey caramel and crunchy honey bits over vanilla ice cream.
