Whole Lava Love
Vegan Chocolate Molten Lava Cake 🌋
February 1, 2020
February brings a couple of special birthday baking endeavors… and I aim to please. Though a molten lava cake wouldn’t be my first choice of a cake, I am excited by a cake I have never attempted before. And it was the birthday girl’s request. But first, a low stakes trial run so I can get the recipe right.
Recipe adapted from here.
Dry Ingredients
100 grams rolled oats, ground into flour in food processor
50 grams almond flour
70 grams coconut sugar
20 grams black cocoa powder
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
Pinch of salt
Wet Ingredients
2/3 cup plant-based milk
80 grams apple sauce
1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tsp vanilla extract
Lava: a chocolate bar, broken into squares.
- Preheat oven to 360°F and grease mold. (I bought these. This recipe is a perfect fit for using all four. I overloaded three and one spilled over. Grease well, including the rim.)
- Pulse all dry ingredients in a food processor.
- Add the wet ingredients and pulse again until combined.
- Pour the mixture into the molds, then push 2 of the chocolate pieces into the center.
- Bake in the oven for about 15 minutes.
- Let cool for about 10 minutes before removing from the mold.
- Dust with cocoa powder and your preferred garnishes. Then spoon on in!
What an easy recipe! And I love that it’s all done in the food processor.
