Vegan Chocolate Lava Cake Recipe

What you need:

  • 1 ½ cup all-purpose flour or gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder
  • 150 ml plant-based milk
  • For molten center: Vegan dark chocolate bar
  • Toppings: Powdered sugar, berries, chocolate syrup, coconut whipped cream, or dairy-free vanilla ice cream
  • For greasing: Vegan butter/oil and Powdered sugar/cocoa powder

What to do:

Pre-heat oven to 390°F. If transferring the lava cakes to a plate, grease ramekins with oil then dust with cocoa powder or powdered sugar.

Divide and add the dark chocolate bars to the middle of each container.

In a bowl, mix all the dry ingredients. Then, add the milk and whisk thoroughly. After this, pour the batter into the ramekins.

Bake for 14mins. If you are transferring to a plate, place a plate on top of the ramekins and invert. Otherwise, you can eat them straight from the baking dish!

Don’t forget to add your chosen toppings. And serve immediately!

Recipe notes: Once removed from the oven, they will still continue to cook so it’s better not to leave them on for too long, in order to achieve the gooey molten center.

These chocolates lave cakes are best served while they are hot.
