Molten Lava Cakes

So we tried this recipe. And it didn't turn out great. So... we want everyone else to try it and leave comments or E-mail us how it turns out! And if you change anything let us know! This recipe is from my cookbook, The Best of Clean Eating.

Ingredients:


  • Olive oil cooking spray
  • 1/4 cup plus 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/3 cup Sucanat
  • 3 Tbsp unsweetened applesauce
  • 3 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 egg
  • 1 egg white
  • 1/2 cup white whole-wheat flour
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • Orange or pear slices, for garnish (optional)
Directions:
    ONE: Preheat oven to 400ºF. Lightly spray four 4-ounce custard cups or small ramekins with cooking spray. In a medium bowl, combine cocoa powder and Sucanat; whisk in applesauce and oil.
    TWO: In a small bowl, lightly whisk egg and egg white and add to cocoa mixture, whisking until smooth. Stir in flour and vanilla until flour is combined completely – do not overmix.
    THREE: Divide mixture evenly among prepared custard cups, place on a baking sheet and bake for nine minutes. Centers should be soft but sides firm. Invert cups onto serving plates; let stand a few minutes before removing cups. Garnish each cake with fruit slices, if desired; serve warm.
