Eggless choco lava cake in 10 minutes (with a 1-minute recipe for eggless choco lava cake at the end)
Choco lava cake or molten lava cake was invented by a chef named Jean- Georges Vongerichten from the United States in New York City in 1987. But later, a French Chef and chocolatier Jacques Torres claim that the dish was already being discovered in France. Choco lava cake is one of the most popular desserts which includes main ingredients such as butter, eggs, sugar, and chocolate.
Due to the high population of vegetarians in India, most of the people prefer eggless cakes rather than cakes with eggs. Just by looking at the cakes it is difficult to make out the difference between them. Cake with eggs helps the ingredients to hold together and makes it light and airy. Eggless cakes are heavier and may end up looking like cookies. To overcome this problem, people started using vinegar and baking soda. They react well together and helps the cake to rise and also makes the cake much lighter than before.
