Cooking: Chocolate Lava Cake

Made this on a whim because I had leftover ingredients to use up.

Making this is actually pretty easy. First melt the butter, then add sugar and stir:

Once that’s mixed, add cocoa powder and keep stirring. After that, add two eggs, one at a time:

Then add a bit of milk:

Next, add equal parts bread flour and cake flour. Sifting is best, and don’t overdo the amount — just until it’s thick.

Pour it into a container. If you’re worried about it sticking, line it with parchment.

Bake at 180°C for 25 minutes. You can also go hotter for less time — this is what I did. Don’t leave it too long, or it stops being a lava cake and turns into a brownie.

Pull it out, slice it open, success.

Next time I’m thinking of trying matcha.
