Vegan Chocolate Lava Cakes

Vegan Chocolate Lava Cakes are a fabulous dessert. It looks impressive, tastes amazing and if you like you can mix some fruit into the chocolate centre – cherry would be good! I’m planning caramel next time.

To get the liquid centre you need to make a ganache and chill it for a good couple of hours. You can make the ganache in the morning, or even the day before. You need about a tablespoon. I’ve read recipes that suggest using an ice cube tray – don’t do this. For two reasons – firstly you can’t ‘pop’ the ganache out as they aren’t fully frozen so it’s irritating. Secondly you have a lot of ganache left in the corners of the ice cube sections and it’s a terrible waste! Just pop it in a bowl and refrigerate or pop in the freezer for a couple of hours.

When the dessert cools the chocolate centre solidifies – this is lovely too making the cakes fudgy rather than liquid.  Sometimes I do a few of the lava pots, and the rest as cupcakes. Either works although the cupcakes need to wait until they are cool so you don’t have hot chocolate dripping down your chin.

Vegan Chocolate Lava Cakes

Prepare your ramekins before starting to make the cake – lightly grease and put to one side. Preheat the oven to 180°C 350°F.
