Choco Lava Cake Recipe with step-by-step pictures and a recipe video. Hello Friends, today I am going to show you all the recipe for chocolate lava cake in pressure cooker. This is a type of cupcake, that when you bite into or cut with a spoon, you get a sensational surprise of molten chocolate oozing out.  This is one favourite treat for my children, and the whole combination of textures and tastes makes it an amazing party cake, or the perfect kitty party dessert.

Choco Lava Cake created in the form of cupcakes

The first time I had chocolate lava cake, was perhaps in KFC or Dominoes (I don’t quite remember, but it was either of them) when these outlets were the new hotspot in Kolkata. However, the history of chocolate lava cake also known as chocolate molten cake can be traced in French and American gourmet cuisine, at least 30 years back.

This confectionery is typically created in the form of cupcakes with a runny centre of chocolate. You can choose whichever chocolate you like, and there are many varieties that have a chocolate filling on a different flavour of the cake, like red velvet, white cake, etc. the point is, the outer shell doesn’t always have to be chocolate cake.

While the authentic chocolate lava cake recipe is not vegetarian, since eggs are put into it, it is not impossible to make vegetarian chocolate lava cake. Eggs are primarily used for leavening a cake and acquire the spongy form, but as you can see, I am showing you eggless chocolate lava cake recipe, that is perfectly leavened and as spongy as it should be.

When it comes to chocolates, children jump in joy, and my kids are not an exception, and the special thing is that my children have often helped to make it, by whisking the batter or putting it in the moulds. You can also decorate the cake with gems, cherries, or sprinkles.

To enjoy this cake at its best, with the gooey molten chocolate, have it warm, soon after it’s done, because if you store it, then the chocolate might get hardened. You can do another thing is spin it the microwave for a few seconds, or warm it in a tawa immediately before serving. But make sure you don’t overheat it, you just need it warm.

Go ahead and make eggless chocolate lava cake at home, and in your pressure cooker.  Here is a step by step guide on how to make chocolate lava cake at home, you can also check out my Youtube video of the same recipe, on my channel, Mint Recipes.
