Lava Cakes with Whipped Cream
With Valentine Fodor of Vege Mamma
Ingredients
For the Lava Cake:
300g 70% dark chocolate (broken into pieces)
70g butter
100g coconut sugar
1 tsp vanilla paste
3 whole eggs + 3 egg yolks
50g plain flour
1/2 tsp salt
Whipped Cream:
100g thickened cream
2 tbsp icing sugar
1 tsp vanilla paste
Pinch of salt
Method:
1. Preheat your oven to 170 degrees and lightly grease 6 x molten lava cake moulds with oil.
2. In a medium sized bowl over a double boiler add in your chopped chocolate and butter. Melt. Take off heat and set aside to cool slightly.
3. In another separate medium size bowl add in your eggs, yolks, sugar, salt & vanilla paste. Whisk until lightened, creamy & doubled in size. This may take 10 minutes & you will get an arm workout. You can use a hand held electric whisk to make things easier for yourself.
4. Pour your cooled chocolate/butter into the egg mix and mix (do not over mix).
5. Sift in flour & cocoa powder. Fold everything together until combined.
6. Pour evenly into moulds & bake for 8-10 minutes (this requires minimal baking time to get that ooey gooey center).
7. After 10 minutes of cooling time, take out of mould.
8. Using a whisk, whisk cream, sifted icing sugar, vanilla & salt until doubled and thickened. Add a dollop on top of lava cakes.
9. EAT!
