There are times when I make a promise to myself that I will not have a dessert every day after dinner. So I don’t buy anything sweet, I don’t plan to bake any cakes, and I make sure there is nothing in the freezer leftover from before. And when I finish my dinner and stack the dishwasher, there’s this nagging feeling. Like there’s UNFINISHED BUSINESS. Like there’s something I’ve forgotten. Truth is, I haven’t forgotten anything. I know exactly what it is. It’s my sweet tooth with its serious sugar addiction that’s causing the unease.
Then I go through the cupboards, the fridge, double-check the freezer with a glimpse of hope of finding something my sweet tooth would enjoy! Nothing! Making a simple cake crosses my mind, but that won’t be ready for an hour. Could drive to the shop, but who am I kidding – I hate driving! And then I realise that I have no choice. I HAVE TO make a Chocolate Molten Cake for One.
It doesn’t get much simpler than this Individual Chocolate Cake oozing with peanut butter. And the beauty of it is that you can make it within 5 minutes, there’s no cake left to help yourself to seconds and you only have a bowl and a spoon to wash up.

How to Make a 5-Minute Vegan Chocolate Molten Cake?
In a bowl, whisk soya milk, oil and sugar. Tip in the flour, baking powder and cocoa powder and whisk vigorously until all is well incorporated.
Take a small bowl, a ramekin or a cup and line it with cling film, leaving the edges overhanging. Spoon in half of the cake batter and place in the microwave (800W) for 20 seconds.
Take the bowl out of the microwave and spoon peanut butter into the middle. Then add the rest of the cake mixture. Return to the microwave for another 20 seconds. The top of the cake should be just set, but not too firm.
Place a plate over the cup and invert it onto the plate. Carefully remove the cling film. Serve your Vegan Chocolate Molten Cake for One with a dollop of dairy-free yoghurt, cream or ice cream!
