Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Nestle® Milo
- 3 tablespoons All-Purpose Flour
- 1 tablespoon Granulated Sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable Oil
- 1 Egg
Instructions
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and let it run for 3 minutes to ensure it’s at the right temperature.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine 4 tablespoons of Nestle Milo, 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, and 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar. Stir well to blend all the dry ingredients evenly.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Add 1 tablespoon of water, 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil, and 1 egg to the dry mixture. Mix everything thoroughly until you have a smooth batter with no lumps.
- Prepare Ramekin: Grease a ramekin with a light coating of oil or butter and line the bottom with parchment paper to prevent sticking and help with easy removal.
- Transfer Batter: Pour the prepared batter into the greased and lined ramekin, spreading evenly.
- Air Fry the Cake: Place the ramekin into the preheated air fryer. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes until the cake is set on the edges but still slightly molten in the center, giving it the signature lava effect.
- Cool and Serve: Let the cake cool for 1 minute. Then carefully remove the cake by inverting the ramekin onto a plate. Sprinkle extra Milo on top for added chocolaty flavor and serve immediately to enjoy the warm, molten center.
Notes
- Cooking times may vary slightly depending on your air fryer model and size; check for doneness around 8 minutes.
- Greasing and lining the ramekin with parchment paper ensures easy removal of the cake without breaking.
- Serve immediately after cooking for the best lava texture; the center sets as it cools.
- You can substitute vegetable oil with melted butter for a richer flavor.
- For a dairy-free version, replace the egg with a flaxseed or chia egg, but texture may slightly differ.
