mini choco lava cake in appam pan | eggless chocolate lava cake in appe pan with detailed photo and video recipe. an easy and thrifty way to prepare the lava cake without egg and oven in a traditional appe pan. the texture and taste are very similar to the baked choco lava cake but much more efficient with the way it is prepared and the ingredients used. these lava cakes can be an ideal dessert recipe that can be served as a snack or as a light dessert after lunch or dinner.
i have posted so many fancy cake recipes which are with and without oven and cooker based recipes. yet i get a lot of request asking to show some basic cake recipes using easily available cooking utensils at home. last time i showed you how to use a steamer to bake a cake and also showed you a deep frying pan to bake a chocolate cake. but this recipe is unique and i have used an appe pan to produce mini lava cake. unlike the traditional lava cake, i feel using appe pan to prepare lava cake is a much easier and simpler option. i still remember the last time when i was preparing the lava cake in the oven, it hardly had lava inside. it was getting mixed into the batter and was struggling to get the chocolate ooze. but this recipe is quick, easy, instant and can be attempted by wannabe chefs.
furthermore, some more additional tips, suggestions and variants to the mini choco lava cake in appam pan. firstly, i would heavily recommend using a non-stick appe pan and avoid using the cast iron pan to prepare this mini lava cake. cast iron may cause the cake to stick to the base and may not easily come out with a smooth surface. secondly, i would recommend using cooking or baking chocolate rather than consumable or commercial chocolate. cooking chocolates easily melts and do not get mixed with cake batter and hence you can easily distinguish the difference. lastly, if you do not have the appe pan, you can use the same cake batter and steam it in idli stand. you may need to get deeper idli stand as you need space to fill the chocolate.
finally, i request you to check my other related eggless cakes recipes collection with this post of mini choco lava cake in appam pan. it mainly includes recipes like oreo chocolate cake, mirror glaze cake, chocolate cupcake in katori, choco lava cup cake – parle-g biscuits in kadai, no bake swiss roll, moist chocolate cake in cooker, mug cake in pressure cooker, chocolate swiss roll on pan, chocolate banana cake, marble cake. further to these i would also like to add some more additional recipe categories like,
