Vegan Chocolate Lava Cake In Air Fryer
These eggless, dairy-free chocolate lava cakes are baked in four small moulds and served warm for a flowing chocolate centre. The video uses moulds 2 inches (5 cm) across and 1.25 inches (3 cm) high. Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (180°C) for 2 minutes, then bake for 8 minutes, adjusting for your air fryer as shown in the recipe.
Before you bake
- Mould size: Use four moulds measuring 2 inches (5 cm) in diameter and 1.25 inches (3 cm) in height. Oil them before adding the batter.
- Bake time: The video specifies 8 minutes at 350°F (180°C), following a separate 2-minute preheat. Air fryers vary, so the recipe asks you to adjust the cooking time for your machine.
- Serve warm: Turn out and serve immediately. The recipe notes that the chocolate centre firms as the cakes cool.
