Speculoos Lava Cake

Ingredients

• 20 g flour (all-purpose flour; plus extra for dusting the bowl)
• 12 g protein powder (speculoos flavor protein powder)
• 40 ml semi-skimmed milk (semi-skimmed milk)
• 0.5 tsp cinnamon (ground cinnamon)
• 6 g speculoos paste (cookie butter)
• cooking spray (cooking spray for greasing)

Steps

1. 1

   In a bowl, combine the flour, protein powder, milk, and cinnamon.

2. 2

   Stir the mixture thoroughly until the batter is completely smooth and there are absolutely no lumps remaining.

3. 3

   Lightly grease a microwave-safe small bowl or ramekin with a tiny bit of cooking spray and spread it evenly with a brush.

4. 4

   Dust the greased bowl with a tiny bit of flour, ensuring it sticks to the sides, then pour the lava cake batter into the bowl.

5. 5

   Push the 6 grams of speculoos paste into the center of the batter.

6. 6

   Place the bowl in the microwave and cook for approximately 40-45 seconds at 400W.

7. 7

   Watch closely while it cooks; the cake is ready when it rises significantly and then appears to slightly 'collapse' or settle. It is best when the center remains moist and gooey rather than dry.

8. 8

   Remove from the microwave and serve immediately.
