All purpose flour 4 tblsp Cocoa powder 1 tsp Baking powder 1/4 tsp Milk 3 tblsp Lemon juice 1/2 tsp Oil 1 and 1/2 tblsp Sugar 1 and 1/2 tblsp Vanilla essence 1/4 tsp Red food colour few drops Chocolate 2 small chunks
In a bowl add the milk and lemon juice , mix well and keep it for 2 minutes.
Add the baking powder to this and mix well. Now add the flour to this.
Add the cocoa powder and sugar to this.
Add the vanilla essence and the red food colour.
Add the oil and mix this well without any lumps.
Grease 2 microwave safe ramekins with oil. Add half of the batter to both the ramekins.
Now put the chocolate chunk into the center of the ramekin. I used the cooking chocolate. You can add even the dairy milk chocolate too. Pour the remaining batter to cover the chocolate. Ensure the chocolate is fully covered. Take care that the chocolate chunk is fully covered with batter.
Place the ramekin in the microwave and cook for 1 minute. Time varies from oven to oven. Mine i kept in high for 1 minute. Insert a tooth pick in the center of the ramekin to see whether it is completely cooked. If it comes out clean, then it is cooked. Take it out from the oven and allow this to cool.
If you want you can sprinkle with some powdered sugar. Using a knife scrape the edges and invert the cake in a plate.
Slowly cut the cake in the front so that the chocolate in the center comes out like a lava.
Red velvet chocolate lava cake is ready to eat now.
Only one extra hint: Pls grease the ramekins at the bottom with butter or cooking spray, so the top of the cake comes out smooth when you overturn it!
