How it's done

Salted caramel filling

Boil the sugar in a wide pan without stirring. Reduce the heat and simmer, swirling the pan occasionally until a light brown caramel has formed. Remove the pan from the heat, add the butter substitute and salt, melt, then mix. Pour in the coconut milk, simmer over a low heat, stirring until the caramel has dissolved, reduce for approx. 5 mins. to form a thick liquid.

Chocolate

Place the chocolate in a thin-sided bowl and suspend over a gently simmering bain-marie; the bowl must not touch the water. Melt the chocolate, stir until smooth.

Batter

Place the flour and all other ingredients up to and including the oil in a bowl, mix to form a smooth batter, mix in the melted chocolate. Place the cake mixturein the prepared moulds. Place 1 tsp of salted caramel filling and a piece of chocolate in the middle of each.

To bake

Approx. 15 mins. in the centre of an oven preheated to 180 °C. The cakes should still be a little runny inside. Remove from the oven, tip out onto plates while still hot. Dust the lava cakes with icing sugar and serve immediately.
