How can I make a Vegan Molten Lava Cake?

Question

I have searched all over the Web and have found close to nothing, although I did find a few restaurants that served it, so know it's possible. I can easily substitute margerine for butter in a conventional Molten Lava Cake recipe, but eggs are a pretty essential element. I'm stuck. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Use arrowroot powder instead of eggs...about one large tablespoon to equal a medium size egg.

Come to think of it, eggs are used as binders in most foods, but if the flour has gluten in it eggs are really unnecessary. I make cookies and muffins all the time with no egg or egg substitute.

But I use arrowroot powder when baking pumkin pie..it works very well if you use enough and its yummy.

you can find it arrowroot in a good health food store...

Just remember to mix it in well before you heat it up cause it will gel when heated and will not blend in.

Arrowroot also makes good porridge...

Enjoy!

P.S. Watch out for the margerine...if its trans fat it is unnatural and deadlier than butter. Try earth balance or soy garden instead. Sometimes you can just use olive oil.

Answer 2

Use EarthBalance for the butter (duh) and for the eggs use 3/4 tsp Xanthan gum plus 1/4 cup water for each egg called for in the recipe. I've done successful lave cake conversions this way before. Ener-G is good for most cakes but in a lava cake it tends to result in a cake that collapses before it's cool enough to eat.

Answer 3

You can use the margarine and an egg substitute such as Ener-G.
