After a soup and some breakfast under "cooking for one " series, let's move to an all time favourite dessert - choco lava cake . I followed Tarla Dalal's recipe for 1 serving and quadrupled it for 4 servings .
It's a family favourite and we used to order it regularly along with the pizza and garlic bread from dominos.
But, all 3 of them are now made at home ! How cool is that ? :).

Do follow the timing strictly as per following recipe to get a perfectly gooey choco lava cake , so delicious that you will go back for seconds and thirds 🙂
Following recipe given for a single serve , you would need:
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon Maida (APF)
- 1 tbsp Sugar (powdered)
- 1 ½ tsp dark chocolate powder (or dark cocoa works fine too)
- 4 tablespoon Milk
