No Oven Chocolate Lava Cake

Steaming these lava chocolate cakes just for 10 to 12 mins produces such a soft and moist texture while maintaining the warm molten chocolate inside.

1.  For best results, weigh the ingredients with a digital scale

2.  In a bowl, add the eggs and powdered sweetener. Whisk until fluffy or foamy. You can use a mixer too.

3.  Add the coconut oil, vanilla extract, milk and whisk to combine.

4.  Sieve the coconut flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt into the wet mixture. Whisk until smooth and thick. Switch to a spatula and mix well. The batter will thicken up further as it sits.

5.  Use any suitable teacups or ramekins and brush with coconut oil. If you wish to remove the cake from the cups nicely, then add a layer of sweetener after brushing with oil.

6.  Spoon batter into the cups, top with chocolate chips or squares then cover with some batter.

7.  Place filled cups into a large pot and add the hot water.

8.  Cover the pot with a towel then cover with the lid of the pot. Fold back the towel and steam over medium heat for 10 to 12 mins.

9.  Enjoy the cake immediately after steaming for that melt in the mouth deliciousness.

10.  As an option, you can dust with some powdered sweetener on the top of the cake.

11. To reheat, just microwave for about 30 to 60 seconds.
