Chocolate Lava Cake Recipe In English | Chocolate Lava Cake (Eggless & Whole Wheat)

           The lava cake recipe, this is an easy recipe for preparing delicious egg-free chocolate lava cake. Chocolate lava cake is also known as choco lava cake and molten chocolate cake the recipe is very simple and has whole wheat flour and cocoa powder.

            A chocolate lava cake recipe that can be made without eggs. Sharing a baking recipe after a long time. The recipe is adapted from my Eggless chocolate cake recipe that I had posted some years back. I have also posted the recipe for making a Cake without an oven.

            To make this lava cake, you only need cocoa powder, baking soda, and chocolate. The rest of the ingredients are easily available in an Indian kitchen. I have used bitter-sweet chocolate to get the molten lava. You can use sweet or semi-sweet chocolate too. Just make sure to use both good quality chocolate and cocoa powder. If possible do use couverture chocolate that has cocoa butter in it.

            For the oil, you can use sunflower or olive oil. I have used both these oils on different occasions while preparing this choco lava cake.

            You can make the recipe in ramekins or aluminum foil cups. You can also use muffin liners or a muffin tray. If using muffin liners or a muffin tray, then you won’t be able to remove the lava cake from it.

            This recipe can be easily doubled And makes for 3 medium-sized molten lava cakes which are almost like large muffins. Thus making for 3 portions or 3 servings. One cake is enough for 1 person. If you have more family members, then you can double the recipe.
