Tips to make Cadbury Egg Molten Chocolate Cake with Protein Powder

This Cadbury creme egg molten chocolate cake using protein powder really is an easy one, but make sure you do all of this stuff to get is perfect.

Grease the ramekin! You want the lava cake to come off easily.
Use an oven-safe mug if you need.

Don’t over-mix the batter!
Make sure you gently fold the dry mix into the wet to combine them.
If you over-mix it, the protein powder will make your protein Cadbury egg molten lava cake tough, dense and gummy.

Taste the batter and see if you need some extra sweetener. I’d recommend using stevia powder to maintain the consistency of the batter.

Don’t overcook. The top will should be just cooked and crusty on the sides, but will slightly jiggle when moved.

Wait for the cake to cool a bit.

Run a knife along the side of the ramekin to loosen it so it comes off smoothly when you flip it on a plate.
