furthermore, i would like to share some basic tips and suggestions for a perfect molten chocolate lava cake recipe. firstly, you can prepare the same recipe with wheat flour too, however i personally recommend the plain flour option. secondly, i have used dark cooking lindt chocolate which easily melts and forms runny chocolate at the center. do not use other eatable chocolates which may contains sugar or caramelized syrup which would not melt easily. lastly, and more importantly always use high quality chocolate and do not use chocolate chips for eggless molten choco lava cake. usually chocolate chips does not melt and do not have lava in it.
