Steamed Chocolate Lava Cake
Recipe source : Miele workshop
This is a great dessert which my buddies and I learnt from chef Amy Beh who conducted a workshop for us on steaming food. The event was in conjunction with the prize presentation ceremony at the Miele Gallery.
This steamed chocolate lava cake is moist with molten lava oozing out from the center. It was great to eat this lava cake with vanilla ice-cream and strawberries.
Double thumbs up!!
Ingredients (serves 3)
85g good quality dark chocolate
45g unsalted butter
1 1/2 whole eggs
1 1/2 egg yolk
35g castor sugar
22g all-purpose flour
a pinch of salt
1/2 tsp vanilla essence
Method
1. Brush the ramekins or small teacups with soft butter and coat it with castor sugar.
2. Break the chocolate into smaller pieces and combine with butter in a bowl. Cover the bowl with cling film and steam at 90 degree C for 10 minutes in the Miele steam oven. Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate and butter in a double boiler until melted. Allow to cool slightly.
3. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk whole eggs and egg yolks with sugar until well combined.
4. Whisk in flour and salt, followed by melted chocolate and vanilla essence.
5. Pour through a fine mesh strainer to remove lumps.
6. Divide batter into 3 equal portions and pour into 3 ramekins or 3 teacups.
7. Steam in the Miele steam oven at 100 degree C for 9 minutes.
8. When done, check that the cakes are puffed and use a toothpick to insert into the centre to see if it comes out with moist batter attached. Steam for an additional minute or two if necessary.
9. Serve with vanilla ice-cream and fruits/nuts if desired.
Use ramekins or teacups
