This lava cake stays moist and runny in the center long after you pull it out of the oven!
Bonus: This recipe is egg-free!
Make this cake right before Shabbos and keep it on the blech for a real lava experience!
This recipe comes together completely in a 9×13, but there’s some steps so let’s get going.
Start by combining your dry ingredients in the pan.
Dutch cocoa is preferred. We sifted it for best results.
Add your wet ingredients
and mix.
Next comes “Step 3”–the chocolate topping.
You can just sprinkle all ingredients on top or combine them first in a Ziploc.
Add the chocolate chips too.
Then pour the hot water over everything.
That’s all! A one pan molten experience!
You can even change this recipe up and make it your own!
I always say, a recipe is a guideline.
I love being able to have the ability to tweak a favorite to prevent boredom and make the recipe your own.
- In this recipe, you can swap out chocolate chips for white chocolate chips or cappuccino chips.
- Instead of water, feel free to use part coffee or even a bit of liquor.
Serve with melted Lotus butter and crumbled Lotus cookies, chocolate, or vanilla ice cream…or keep it simple with some fresh berries and mint.
