I have a weakness for lava cakes, i have made a eggless version and a microwave version as well. But making a proper lava cake is always in my dream. Yesterday was the day and finally i made it. It turned out to be a hit. It is like molten perfection, perfect lava flowed through the cake..
Similar Recipes,
This recipe calls for less fat content, just a tblspn of ghee is what it wants. This cake calls for just 5 ingredients and it is so easy to make. The main thing you have to keep in mind for lava cake is the timing. I used a 240 ml ramekins, but if you are using a smaller mould than that, then the baking time will be less. So you have to keep it in mind. And make sure you read the recipe well for adjusting the molten part consistency. Hope you will give this a try and let me know how it turns out for you.

How you want your fondant - For a 240 ml ramekin size:
1) 16 mins - very very molten and liquidy in the middle, hard crust outside.
2) 18 mins - very molten in the middle, has a little thick crust outside.
3) 20 to 21 mins - Little molten in the middle.
4) 22 - 23 mins - Gooey cake alone no molten lava part
