If you want to indulge in a chocolatey, oooey gooey, satisfying dessert but would like to eat clean, this Guilt-Free Chocolate Lava Cake will surely fulfill your desires. The texture is like a sponge cake with a creamy center that tastes like chocolate cake batter.
This is my go-to recipe when I get those late night cravings for something sweet but I don’t really have the energy to make a complicated dessert that requires a lot post baking clean up.
This Guilt-Free Chocolate Lava Cake is gluten free, refined sugar free and packed with protein and best of all, it can be whipped up in less than 20 minutes. It really can’t get better than that!
