2-minute gooey, molten lava cake—the best chocolate treat ever! It’s
splendidly simple, works like a dream and totally swoon-worthy.
Author: Nashira Usef
Recipe Type: Dessert
Serves: 2-3
Ingredients
4 tablespoons self
rising flour, sifted
3 tablespoons
unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted?(I used Cadbury’s)
4 tablespoons
caster sugar
1 medium egg
3 tablespoons
Nutella
3 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons
olive, or vegetable oil (I used olive)
2-3 teaspoon
chocolate chips (I used Hershey’s semi-sweet chocolate chips)
Instructions
1. Combine all
ingredients except chocolate chips in a bowl. Beat well with a whisk until
smooth and blended. Divide the batter between 3 small microwave safe mugs, or
two medium mugs. Important thing is to fill mugs up to just ¾ full, if not the
cake will overflow when it rises. Then tip in 1 teaspoon chocolate chips into
each cup and push it into the batter until completely covered.
2. Microwave on high
power for anywhere between 30 seconds to 3 minutes—I did two cups, together.
Please note that cooking time will depend on microwave wattage. Mine took 1.5
minutes (850 watts oven), whereas the original recipe says it was done in 30
seconds—so watch out. The key for the perfect lava cake is not to overcook the
batter. The cake should rise a bit, ideally with a moist, fluffy, gooey
texture, and glossy, fudgy top. The more you cook, the cake will toughen up and
dry—so slightly undercook and keep an eye on it the whole time.
3. Top with whipped
cream, if you like. And of course, serve with strawberries or raspberries—the
perfect partner for chocolate. Enjoy!
