Chocolate Cake Pops - Eggless

Eid Mubarak!!

Why should we eat cake in slices, its fun to have this way too. Try them its a bit lengthy procedure but the kids will love it this way.  If you are ok to buy a readymade mix and make a cake even then its fine, all you have to do is just make the pops, just follow the below procedure.

Ingredients:

For the cake:
1 ½  cups flour
¼  cup cocoa powder
4 tbsp  fine sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1  tsp baking soda
1 tin =  400gm sweetened condensed milk
150 gm butter melted
1 tbsp vanilla
1 cup  water

Molten Lava Cake

I always loved this cake at the Chilis outlets in Dubai.  Its gooey and soft inside and goes well with vanilla icecream.

So busy to grab it that we completely missed to capture the cake, some how managed a pic on the mobile. Surely will make this again and put a nice pic.

It’s a very simple and easy desert and everyone will love it.

Ingredients:

Semi sweet baking chocolate - 115gms
Butter - 115gms
Eggs – 2 nos
Sugar - 75 gms
All-purpose Flour – 40gms
Butter - for greasing ramekins

Method:

 In a double boiler, melt chocolate. Once chocolate is melted add butter and mix until the butter melts fully and let this cool down a bit.

In a medium mixing bowl, beat Eggs and Sugar until light and fluffy.

Add chocolate and butter mixture into the eggs, add all-purpose flour and mix until well incorporated.

Butter bottom and sides of ramekins or small bowls and pour in mixture  about ¾ of the bowls/remkin

Place ramekins on a baking tray and bake at 180 C for 10 - 15 minutes. If you like more gooey molten inside cook lesser and  longer for stiff inside.

Serve hot with vanilla ice cream.
