Ingredients
- 180 g | 1 cup dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate
- 114 g | 1 stick unsalted butter cubed
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla paste or extract
- 185 g | 1 1/2 cups icing sugar
- 7 tbsp plain flour
- 1 tsp instant Espresso powder
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 4 teaspoons cocoa powder
- cake release spray or melted butter for the moulds
Serve with
- 2 tbsp Baileys optional
- vanilla ice cream optional
Instructions
- Chocolate lava cakespressure cooker method
- Put the chocolate and butter in a bowl and microwave for 30 second bursts, stirring in between, until melted and smooth. Alternatively set the bowl over a pot of barely simmering water and allow the chocolate to melt gradually (double boiler method). Set aside to cool slightly.
- Add the eggs and vanilla. Mix together using a small balloon whisk. The chocolate will thicken.
- Sift the flour, icing sugar, espresso powder, ground cinnamon and salt over the chocolate. Fold together until you have a glossy, thick batter and no dry streaks remain.
- Spray four ramekins or dariole (metal pudding) moulds with cake release or brush with melted butter. Add a scant teaspoon of cocoa powder in each and swirl to cover. Discard any excess cocoa powder.
- Divide the batter between the prepared ramekins or moulds.
- Place the metal trivet in your pressure cooker and add 250ml (1 cup water). Place the ramekins on the trivet - you should have enough space to fit them all in a single layer but if not you can stack them.
