Individual Chocolate Souffle Cakes

Submitted by Chemaine

"To serve four, use five teaspoons flour and double the remaining ingredients. Doubling the flour would make the base too heavy."

hmmm so good. I made mine low carb and sugar free. I used almond flour instead of flour, amond breeze unsweetened( which is an almond milk)instead of milk and 4 tbsp of xylitol in place of the sugar, with no dusting or sprinkling. very good thanks for sharing!

"Flour" confused me, didn't know whether to use self-raising or plain so went for self-raising. Apart from that I followed the recipe exactly. The chocolate mixture just stuck to the pan and was a real chore to mix. The final product wasn't what I would describe as a souffle at all. It was dense and not sweet enough in my opinion, although my mum did enjoy it with a splash of cream.
