Sweets and Treats - Coconut Cakes

I love coconut in pretty much anything, but especially in cakes. I tried to make some coconut macaroons, which you'd think would be fairly easy, but mine didn't turn out that great so I'm not going to show you any pictures, I'll have a go at a coconut cupcake next and see how I get on!

Sweets and Treats - Chocolate Cake

swedish chocolate cake / chocolate molten cake / chocolate cupcake / chocolate souffle
I don't really bake but these chocolate cakes look so delicious I thought I'd give it a go.

Here's my version of the chocolate molten cake, maybe not as molten as it should be but it tasted pretty good for a first attempt. I changed the recipe a bit as I wanted it to be dairy free, here's what I used:

200g dark chocolate
4 tbsp dairy free sunflower spread
2 eggs
1/2 cup sugar
1/2cup flour

Melt the chocolate and butter together in the microwave, whisk the eggs and sugar together in a separate bowl then stir it all together whilst adding the flour. Pour the mixture into greased ramekins or a muffin tray, it should make about 9 small cakes, and bake at 200 degrees C for 8 to 10 mins.

I think I left mine in the oven for a couple of minutes too long, but they were still really good, and they still tasted great the next day, just like chocolate brownies!
