EGGLESS CHOCOLATE LAVA CAKE WITHOUT OVEN OR MICROWAVE / EGGLESS LAVA CAKE

Serves: 5-6 lava cakes

This egg-less  lava cake is one of the easiest cake specially who are beginners in baking or those who resist using oven. I got many queries wherein I am asked to make cakes without oven so I wrote instant cake made in mug, microwave and I even have cooker cake recipe made with both egg and without egg. You can make all the cakes given in my blog under category of "cakes and tarts" and can make all these cakes in cooker too.

Before this I wrote recipe of  instant egg-less cake that can be made in microwave, but that recipe can only be enjoyed if served instantly else it becomes dry. I have lava cake recipe but there I used eggs and I got several mails requesting people to post egg-less version. So here I am with an egg-less version which can be made both in oven and without oven.

Here I used kadai/ wok you can use cooker too. To know how to use cooker for baking please see the recipe of egg-less fruit and nut cake in cooker wherein I have written detailed steps and important instruction to use cooker for baking.

3. Instead of kadai you can use cooker too, to find out the important instructions on how to use cooekr for baking do see recipe of cooker cake.

4. You can use silicon moulds instead of aluminum moulds but make sure not to use steel bowls or it will end up burning the cake.

6. Amount of salt to be spread on kadai depends on it's space and capacity. The quantity of salt should be enough to cover the base.

7. Cooking time in kadai may vary in case you are using small sized moulds. If using small silicon moulds check after 10 minutes.
