Vanilla and Chocolate Chip Molten Cake

Ingredients

• 100 g Unsweetened applesauce
• 1 Egg
• 30 g Skyr (The source indicates 30–40 g.)
• 25 g Oat flour (The creator indicates that she blends rolled oats to make it.)
• 15 g Almond meal
• 0.5 tsp Baking powder
• Vanilla (Quantity not specified.)
• Sweetener (Optional, to taste; quantity not specified.)
• 1 Chocolate squares (The source indicates 1 or 2 squares, to be pressed into the center.)
• 10 g Chocolate chips (The source indicates 10–15 g; reserve a few for the top.)

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 180 °C. For air-fryer cooking, preheat it to 160 °C if necessary according to your appliance’s instructions.

2. 2

   In a bowl, mix the applesauce with the egg and skyr until smooth.

3. 3

   Add the oat flour, almond meal, baking powder, and vanilla, then mix until the dry ingredients are incorporated.

4. 4

   Fold in the chocolate chips, reserving a few for topping.

5. 5

   Pour the batter into a small cake pan. The pan used by the creator is approximately 13 cm in diameter and has fairly high sides.

6. 6

   Press one or two chocolate squares into the center of the batter, then distribute the reserved chocolate chips over the top.

7. 7

   Bake at 180 °C for approximately 18 minutes, and no more than 22 minutes. The center should remain very soft and the top should not be too browned.

8. 8

   Alternatively, cook in the air fryer at 160 °C for 13 to 15 minutes, then leave the appliance turned off and closed for an additional 3 to 5 minutes. Adjust according to the power of your air fryer.

9. 9

   Allow to cool sufficiently before serving, or prepare it in advance and eat it cold the next day.

Notes

The recipe makes one serving. The cooking time and temperature may need to be adjusted depending on the pan and the power of the air fryer. The center should remain soft and the top lightly browned.
