Ingredients
dry ingredients

- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 pinch salt
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
wet ingredients
- ⅓ cup sugar, 75 grams, about 5 to 5.5 tablespoons sugar
- ½ cup cold water
- 2 tablespoons oil, sunflower or olive oil
- ½ tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract or ¼ teaspoon vanilla essence
to be added later
- 90 to 100 grams semi sweet, bitter sweet or sweet chocolate
Instructions
sifting dry ingredients for cake
- Take a bowl and place a sieve on it. Add whole wheat flour, salt, cocoa powder and baking soda.
- Sift directly in the bowl. Keep aside.
preparing wet ingredients solution
- In another bowl take sugar and cold water.
- Stir till all the sugar is dissolved.
- Then add oil and stir very well.
- Next add vanilla extract and lemon juice. Again mix.
making chocolate lava cake batter
- Now add the wet ingredients in the dry ingredients.
- Mix very well with a wired whisk. However, do not over do the mixing.
- Pour the batter in greased ramekins or muffin cups.
- Then place chocolate squares in the batter. Gently press the chocolate squares, so that they get immersed in the batter.
baking choco lava cake
- Place the ramekins in a preheated oven and bake for 200 degrees celsius for 30 to 35 minutes. Preheat oven for 15 to 20 minutes at 200 degrees celsius before you start baking.
- Once done, remove the ramekins from the oven. Let the cake cool for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Then gently invert the ramekins on a serving plate or tray. Be careful as the ramekins will be hot.
- Tap the base of the ramekins and let the lava cake slid through and fall on the plate.
- Using a small sieve, dust some cocoa powder or powdered sugar on the choco lava cakes.
- Serve choco lava cake immediately.
Notes
- The recipe can be doubled.
- Instead of ramekins, muffin cups or liners can be used. Aluminium foil based muffin cups also can be used.
- Depending on the size of muffin cups, you will get less or more number of choco lava cakes.
- For the chocolate, you can use sweet, semi sweet, bitter sweet or milk chocolate.
- Do use couverture chocolate instead of compound chocolate.
- Also use a good quality cocoa powder.
- Oven temperature varies, so do keep a check on baking especially during the last 10 minutes.
- Instead of whole wheat flour (atta) you can also use all purpose flour (maida).
- You can use vanilla essence instead of vanilla extract. In that case, just add ¼th teaspoon of vanilla essence.
