Epic Peanut Butter + Chocolate Lava Cake

Serves 12 people

Ingredients

For the cake

  • 200 g (7 oz) vegan butter plus a little extra for greasing
  • 200 g (7 oz) white sugar
  • 200 g (7 oz) plain flour
  • 80 g (2.8 oz) cocoa powder plus extra for dusting
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3 tbsp plant-based milk
  • 1 x 400 g (14.1 oz) tin of chickpeas aquafaba only

For the chocolate sauce

  • 1/4 cup plant-based milk
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips suitable for vegans

For the peanut sauce

  • 200 ml (6.8 fl.oz) plant-based milk
  • 3/4 cup peanut butter

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 180°C fan / 400°F. Generously grease the baking tin with vegan butter and dust with cocoa powder.
  • In a mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together for a few minutes with a wooden spoon until light and fluffy.
  • Sieve the flour and cocoa powder into the mixing bowl, then add the salt and baking powder.
  • Next, strain the chickpeas and capture the aquafaba (juice) in a separate bowl. Then add the aquafaba, milk and vanilla extract to the mixing bowl, and mix with the other cake ingredients until well combined.
  • Pour the cake mix into a bundt tin, making sure the mix is evenly distributed in the tin. Bake for 35 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the cake comes out clean.
  • Take the cake out of the oven and leave it to cool for at least 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the lava by mixing together the peanut butter sauce (add more milk if the mix is too thick). Then heat the chocolate sauce ingredients on a low heat until fully melted.
  • Turn out the cake and pour the peanut butter sauce over the top, drizzling over the sides and filling the hole in the centre. Repeat with the chocolate sauce.
