For this month's Baking Eggless Group Challenge, Sowmya of Nivedhanam chose the recipe for us to try and it was molten lava cake. I selected the recipe from Noobcook and we tried converting it into an egg free recipe. I thought of making this 20 days back but I was having a hard time since then. Every one was falling sick and at last it came to me. I was ill the last three days and thought I will never make it to the reveal date. Today I felt a bit fine and at once started making preparations. I did some alterations to the original recipe and the final outcome was a very gooey, very chocolaty and a delicious molten lava cake. The original recipe had two eggs and only three teaspoons of flour in it. So the eggs shall also contribute to the volume. So instead of just replacing the eggs, I also added extra flour to the batter. I also added some chocolate bars in the middle of the batter before baking and there was this molten chocolate inside along with the gooey centre. This cake tastes better when served with ice cream but as we are infected with cold, I skipped the ice cream and served it warm with a dusting of icing sugar on top.
