About Eggless Lava Cake Recipe

Chocolate lava cakes or molten lava cake is nothing but under cooked chocolate cake with molten centre. Traditionally you use eggs in the cake and bake it for less time in oven which results in ooey gooey chocolate center and lava part. But in eggless version you have to put some thoughts in the cake.

Many recipes on the internet shows to place a piece of chocolate in the center of the batter and bake which results in the lava part. I have tried that so many times with different type of chocolates. I couldn’t achieve the lava part, most of the time my chocolate harden, or it gets soft but doesn’t gives the lava like texture.

So I came up with a simple recipe, in which you will be making a thick ganache with chocolate and cream and make it into balls. Stuff this into the cake and bake which gives you the perfect lava texture. Try it to see!

Ingredients for Eggless Chocolate Lava Cake

Chocolate

Using good chocolate is important, try to invest in the best quality chocolate for this cake. Semi sweet chocolate chips can be used. I used a combination of 40% dark chocolate and 70% chocolate. Never use compound chocolate it doesn’t taste good.

All Purpose Flour

Very little amount of flour is used in this cake which gives the desired texture. Wheat flour can be substituted.

Butter

Unsalted butter is preferred in this recipe also make sure you melt it before using. You can melt butter in a sauce pan or in microwave. For easy option you can use oil. I have tried this cake with oil and it works great.

Milk

Use whole full fat milk for the cake which adds the moistness to the cake. Milk can be substituted with almond milk or soy milk.
