Indulge in Decadence: Satisfy Your Sweet Tooth with These Guilt-Free Chocolate Delights!
in a large mixing bowl combine 8 G or around 1 tbspoon of coconut flour a/ teaspoon of baking powder 20 G or around 1/4 cup of cocoa powder 48 G or around 1/4 cup of the granulated sweetener of your choice I’m using granulated monk fruit sweetener sift these all together until they’re fully combined and there.
Are no lumps in the dry ingredients add two large room temperature eggs stir the eggs into the dry ingredients until fully combined and all the dry ingredients have been moistened by the eggs add 60 ml or around 1/4 cup of the room temperature milk of your choice add 1/4 cup of butter that’s been melted and cooled and.
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract stir until fully combined place four 6 oz custard cups on a baking sheet generously Grease the entire inside of each Custard Cup with melted butter or the oil of your choice if you don’t have any custard cups you can use four cups of your muffin tin just again make sure they’re very well.
Greased divide the batter evenly between your prepared custard cups or if you’re using your muffin tin it’ll be roughly around 5 tablespoons of batter in each cup then place the cups back onto your baking sheet then place them in your preheated oven bake at 400° for 10 to 12 minutes or until the sides of the cakes are firm but the middle of your cake is.
Still jiggly it’s going to look like your cake is not done but that is the beauty of lava cake lava cake is supposed to be slightly under done cake so make sure that you do not overcook it once the cakes are done baking remove them from the oven let the cakes sit in the cups for around 2 to 3 minutes just to let the ingredients kind of settle in.
A bit when you’re ready to eat the cakes you’re going to remove them from the cups in order to do that cover the tops of the cup with a small serving plate then keep the plate attached to the cup and carefully turn the cup over onto the plate so that the cup is upside down on top of the plate then let it sit like that upside down for about 10 seconds.
This is going to help loosen the cake a bit carefully lift the cup off of the cake if if it seems like the cake isn’t releasing from the cup then just use a butter knife and very carefully go around the edges of the cake and kind of pull the edges a little bit away from the side and then turn it back over upside down give it a little gentle.
Shake If you need to until it releases the cake you can serve these immediately medely lava cake is best served slightly warm if you want to you can top your cake with a little bit of powdered sweetener or some extra chocolate sauce if you do have any leftovers allow them to cool completely and store them in an airtight container at room temperature.
For up to 3 days if you do eat these later rather than right as soon as they come out of the oven then after you have released the cake from the Custard Cup or muffin cup whatever you’re using and put it on on a plate microwave it on high for about 10 to 15 seconds or just until it’s warm all the way through and then you can put whatever toppings.
You’re wanting on it now just a heads up if you do eat it later rather than right out of the oven it may not have a very gooey Center it will still taste really good it just the center won’t be quite as soft because coconut flour absorbs moisture so the longer coconut flour cools the more moisture it absorbs so you will most most likely want to put.
Some warm chocolate sauce over the top of it also if you do put chocolate sauce on it whether you’re eating it right out of the oven or you’re eating it later make sure you warm the chocolate sauce just a little bit that way it melts into the cake and really gives you a nice gooey texture eat and enjoy
