Single-Serving Chocolate Lava Cake

Ingredients

• 25 g flour (The author states that the recipe is gluten-free; use gluten-free flour.)
• 5 g cocoa powder
• 0.25 tsp baking powder
• 1 tbsp maple syrup
• 0.5 tbsp oil (For the batter; a small amount is also needed for greasing the ramekin.)
• 2.5 tbsp plant-based milk (The author specifies a range of 2–3 tbsp.)
• 1 chocolate (One square for the center of the cake; vegan chocolate is preferred.)
• powdered sugar (For serving.)

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350°F (approximately 175°C).

2. 2

   Combine the flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder in a small bowl.

3. 3

   Add the maple syrup, oil, and 2–3 tbsp of plant-based milk.

4. 4

   Mix everything well until you have a smooth batter.

5. 5

   Pour the batter into a small, greased, oven-safe ramekin.

6. 6

   Place one square of chocolate in the center of the batter.

7. 7

   Bake for 12 minutes. If you plan to remove the cake from the ramekin, bake for 15 minutes.

8. 8

   Serve dusted with powdered sugar.

9. 9

   Let the cake cool slightly and enjoy it immediately: if you wait too long, the chocolate inside will set.

Notes

This is a snack-sized serving. For a more substantial breakfast, the author recommends doubling the quantity of all ingredients. The source does not specify the exact amount of oil for greasing the ramekin or powdered sugar for serving.
