EGGLESS CHOCOLATE LAVA CAKE

I have been trying to share at least one eggless recipe with you here every week. I couldn’t share one last week because I was in Amsterdam ( have you read my vegetarian guide in Amsterdam post?) To make up for that, I had to post an extra special eggless recipe so I decided to bake what a lot of you requested- eggless chocolate lava cake! What’s better- this eggless chocolate lava cake is filled with cookie butter and served with vanilla ice-cream and raspberries. If you can’t get your hands on cookie butter, you can replace it with peanut butter!

Another amazing thing about this eggless chocolate lave cake is that it takes no time to prepare. The batter gets ready in no time and takes only 15 minutes in the oven! Who can say no to a dessert that is so decadent and so quick?

Besides this eggless chocolate lava cake, you should also try the eggless mocha mousse and no-bake eggless Nutella tart.
