To make an eggless red velvet lava cake, start by combining all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, mix buttermilk, vegetable oil, red food coloring, vanilla extract, and white vinegar. Combine the wet and dry ingredients, being careful not to overmix.
Next, grease and flour individual ramekins or small oven-safe dishes. Fill each ramekin halfway with the red velvet batter, then spoon a tablespoon of cream cheese filling into the center of each. Sprinkle some semisweet chocolate chips on top of the cream cheese.
Bake the lava cakes in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for around 18-20 minutes. The edges should be set while the centers remain slightly jiggly. Allow the cakes to cool for a few minutes, then invert them onto serving plates.
Garnish the cakes with powdered sugar or cocoa powder, fresh berries, and mint leaves if desired. When you cut into the cakes, the cream cheese filling will flow out like lava, creating a delightful and indulgent dessert. Serve the eggless red velvet lava cakes warm, and enjoy the rich flavors and gooey texture.

- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons red food coloring
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
For the cream cheese filling:
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
For garnish:
- Powdered sugar or cocoa powder (optional)
- Fresh berries (optional)
- Mint leaves (optional)
Step By Step Instructions Of Red Velvet Lava Cake Recipe :
Step 1: Preheat the oven and prepare the baking dish
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour four individual ramekins or small oven-safe dishes and set them aside.
Step 2: Prepare the cream cheese filling
In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and set aside.
Step 3: Combine the dry ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Make sure the dry ingredients are well combined.
Step 4: Prepare the wet ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, vegetable oil, red food coloring, vanilla extract, and white vinegar. Mix until all the wet ingredients are fully combined.
Step 5: Combine the wet and dry ingredients
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir the mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine.
Step 6: Fill the ramekins
Divide the red velvet batter evenly among the greased ramekins, filling each one about halfway. Spoon a generous tablespoon of the cream cheese filling into the center of each ramekin, on top of the red velvet batter.
Step 7: Add chocolate chips
Sprinkle a few semisweet chocolate chips on top of the cream cheese filling in each ramekin. These will create the “lava” when the cakes are baked.
Step 8: Bake the Red Velvet Lava Cake
Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and transfer them to the preheated oven. Bake for approximately 18-20 minutes or until the edges are set and the centers are slightly jiggly. The exact baking time may vary, so keep a close eye on them.
Step 9: Remove from the oven and cool
Once baked, remove the lava cakes from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. The centers will continue to cook and firm up slightly as they cool.
Step 10: Garnish and serve red velvet lava cake
After the lava cakes have cooled slightly, run a knife around the edges of each ramekin to loosen them. Carefully invert each cake onto a serving plate. Garnish with a dusting of powdered sugar or cocoa powder, fresh berries, and mint leaves, if desired.
Serve the eggless red velvet lava cakes warm. As you cut into the cakes, the rich and gooey cream cheese filling will flow out, creating a delectable lava effect. Enjoy this indulgent treat with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, if desired.
That’s it! You have successfully made delicious eggless red velvet lava cakes. Enjoy your homemade dessert!
