Less Than 1 Minute Individual Sized Chocolate Molten Lava 'cake'

[4ALongerLife 329]

Ok this is a recipe I found on MFP and I was jonesing for some cake. So why not try it? The carbs ended up being higher than I wanted, but the calories were lower than I expected. Yours will vary depending on what products you use!

chocolate molten "lava" cake/individual sized - takes about 1 min

Mix 1 TBSP of each:

cocoa powder (I used Swiss Miss hot chocolate no sugar added mix, about 1/2 of the pkg)

flour

sugar (I used Stevia in the Raw)

Add a pinch of salt (very very little) and 2 TBSP of NF milk.

Stir, stir, stir.

Spray a ramekin (or a microwave safe small dish) with non-stick spray.

Pour the batter into it.

Take a piece of sugar free hershey's chocolate (I buy them from the candy section at WalMart), split it in half and push it down in the middle. It said to cover it with the batter, but my bowls were too big, still came out fine!

Microwave for 30-45 seconds depending on your microwave's settings.

Enjoy!

MFP nutritional value for the products that I decided to use/had showed this nutritional value to be: 86 calories/1.8 g fat/1.1 mg cholesterol/169.8 mg sodium/16.6 g carbs/3.1g protein/7.2 g sugar 1.1 g fiber.

To me, whenever I'm jonesing for cake or chocolate, THIS was worth it. My son and his friend loved it too Hope you will as well!

Wishing you success on your WLS journeys! xxx

Wonder if you could use some chocolate Protein powder???

Ooooo - please let me know if you try this! =) I don't have the ingredients on hand because I don't enjoy chocolate Protein drinks that much, but I would definitely pick some up if I could have a relatively healthy Protein filled treat.

[4ALongerLife 329]

I don't keep chocolate Protein powder either, so believe me... I wanna know too pls! he he .. it actually was purty taste too! (with reg cocoa powder anywho)

[tlaff79 117]

Well the results are in and they are fabulous!!! Perfect cake! Thanks to the op for this recipe! Here is how I did it. 1 tbs chocolate Protein Powder ( I used chike) 1 tbs self rising flour 1 packet Splenda with Fiber 2 tbs skim milk I didn't have Sugar Free Chocolate so I used about 5 unsweetened chocolate chips and barely a pinch of salt. 45 seconds in the microwave! I haven't figured out nutrtional stats yet though I will let you know when I do.

[tlaff79 117]

Ok nutritional stats are 90 calories, 12 carbs, 3 grams Fiber, 1 fat gram and 10 grams Protein. Not too bad for a treat!

[4ALongerLife 329]

Woo hoo! That makes it EVEN better! And I agree - not bad for a "treat"... awesome work! Thanks for letting us know too!

Well I tried this 2 different ways and both times it came out with the texture of a 12-year-old marshmallow. However...the taste was great. The texture will definitely not keep me from using this recipe again. I will continue to try to tweak it. Any suggestions about why they came out so spongy? Maybe the wattage on my microwave is higher than others. Just a guess. The best effort was when I used baking cocoa, splenda blend and 1/8 tsp baking powder. All I had for chocolate was Hershey's Bliss which added a few extra cals and carbs, but I won't be having this every day. I did the MFP recipe calculations and it is quite acceptable for a treat every so often. I can see how it could become a real temptation, though.

Chocolate for Everybody!!!
