Chocolate Mochi Lava Cake with molten center on a plate

Chocolate Mochi Lava Cake : A Chewy, Gooey Dessert Worth Savoring

A gooey, chewy Chocolate Mochi Lava Cake made with glutinous rice flour, cocoa powder, and chocolate chips for the ultimate molten dessert.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 cakes

Ingredients

Scale

1 egg
3 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp neutral oil
¾ cup milk
1 ½ cups glutinous rice flour
¼ cup cocoa powder
1 tsp baking powder
½ cup chocolate chips, plus extra for topping

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F and grease 4 ramekins.
Whisk egg and sugar until smooth, then add oil and milk.
Sift in glutinous rice flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder. Mix until glossy and thick.
Fold in half of the chocolate chips.
Spoon a layer of batter into ramekins, add chocolate chips in the center, then top with more batter.
Bake 30–35 minutes, until edges are set and centers jiggle slightly.
Serve warm with powdered sugar, ice cream, or berries.

Notes

Do not substitute regular flour for glutinous rice flour, as it won’t provide the chewy texture. Microwave leftovers for 15–20 seconds to restore the gooey center.
