Healthy Vegan Chocolate Lava Cakes with Tofu Ganache
These mini lava cakes combine a rich chocolate cake with a creamy ganache filling, which just happens to be made with tofu! It's vegan and more nutritious, but makes for a decadent dessert.
Ingredients
bundt cakes
- ⅓ cup all purpose flour
- ¼ cup white whole wheat flour or more all purpose
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 4 tablespoons cocoa powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 5 tablespoons oat milk or other nondairy milk
- 3 tablespoons oil
- 4 tablespoons cane sugar or other granulated sweetener
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce
tofu ganache
- ⅔ cup silken tofu
- 6 tablespoons maple syrup
- 6 tablespoons cocoa powder
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease 2 mini bundt cake pans and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: nondairy milk, oil, sugar, applesauce, and apple cider vinegar.
- Sift in the dry ingredients: all purpose flour, white whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder. Fold into the batter but do not overmix.
- Transfer to the prepared bundt pans and bake for about 10 minutes, until the top springs back when lightly pressed on. Leave to cool.
- In a small blender (I used an immersion blender), combine the tofu, maple syrup, cooca powder, and salt. Blend until very smooth.
- Trim the top of the bundt cakes if they are uneven, and flip so that the flat side is up. Pour the ganache into the hole of the the cake until it flows over. Dust with cocoa powder and enjoy!
