Vegan Chocolate Fudge Lava Cake
Do you like your vegan puddings oozy and gooey? If that's a yes, this chocolate lava cake should do the trick! Happy baking!
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
Dry:
- 100 g all purpose flour/plain flour
- 40 g chopped hazelnuts
- 20 g cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
Wet:
- 170 ml plant milk
- 70 ml maple syrup
- 1 small banana mashed
- ½ tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Filling:
- 8-12 squares of vegan chocolate divided between the 4 ramekins. 8-12 if you're having one big lava cake
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180 Celsius (350F).
- Grease 4 small, oven-proof ramekins.
- Making the cake mixture: Combine all of the dry ingredients in a medium-sized bowl and then mix in the wet ingredients until they're fully incorporated.
- Equally, pour your chocolatey mixture into the 4 ramekins and place either 2 or 3 vegan chocolate squares into the middle of each one. Make sure that they're completely covered by the mixture.
- Bake the lava cakes in the oven for 15-20 minutes. Once they're ready, allow them to cool for a further 8 minutes or so.
- Remove from the ramekins and enjoy. Best served with warm custard.
Notes
- If you don't have any ramekins at hand, not to worry! You can also use something like silicon muffin moulds or even an everyday mug!
- If you are allergic to banana or you simply don't like them, substitute for 1/3 cup apple sauce. It will give you the same final outcome!
- If you don't want chopped hazelnuts in your lava cake, you could try using ground hazelnuts instead. Maybe you'd like to try a different type of nut altogether!
- You can use any vegan chocolate for the centre as long as it melts well.
