Decadent Chocolate Lava Cake Recipe
A rich, gooey vegan chocolate lava cake with a molten center — indulgent, easy, and guaranteed to impress your inner dessert diva.
Ingredients
Method
- Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F). Grease ramekins lightly with coconut oil.
- In a bowl, mix flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk almond milk, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and vinegar.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients until smooth — no drama, just batter.
- Divide batter evenly between ramekins, filling them halfway.
- Add two chunks of dark chocolate to each ramekin (the secret molten core).
- Cover with remaining batter and smooth the tops gently.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes until the edges are firm but the centers jiggle slightly.
- Let cool for 2 minutes, then invert onto plates while whispering, “Please don’t stick.”
- Dust with sugar, add berries or ice cream, and serve immediately.
