Ingredient Breakdown

Dairy-Free Chocolate Chips

These create the luscious molten center that makes lava cakes so iconic. Opt for high-quality vegan chocolate for the best results.

Cocoa Powder

Adds depth and richness to the cake, complementing the chocolate chips.

Raspberry Coulis

This simple sauce balances the sweetness of the lava cakes with a tangy, fruity note.

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Raspberry Coulis

  1. In a small saucepan, combine the raspberries, maple syrup, and lemon juice over medium heat.
  2. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the raspberries break down.
  3. Strain the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds (optional). Set aside to cool.

Step 2: Make the Lava Cake Batter

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease four ramekins or small oven-safe bowls with vegan butter or oil.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, melt the dairy-free chocolate chips and vegan butter in the microwave or over a double boiler. Stir until smooth.
  4. Add the plant-based milk, cane sugar, and vanilla extract to the melted chocolate mixture. Mix well.
  5. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until a smooth batter forms.

Step 3: Assemble and Bake

  1. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins.
  2. Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly jiggly. Be careful not to overbake, as the molten center is key!

Step 4: Serve

  1. Let the lava cakes cool for 2-3 minutes before running a knife around the edges to loosen them. Invert onto plates or serve directly in the ramekins.
  2. Drizzle the raspberry coulis over the top and garnish with powdered sugar, fresh raspberries, or vegan whipped cream.

Tips and Variations

  • Make It Gluten-Free: Use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend to make these lava cakes gluten-free.
  • Add Extra Flavor: Stir in a pinch of espresso powder or a splash of almond extract for a unique twist.
  • Prep Ahead: Prepare the batter ahead of time and store it in the ramekins in the fridge. Bake just before serving for a freshly molten center.
  • Use Different Fruits: Substitute the raspberries with strawberries, blueberries, or cherries for a different coulis flavor.
