What is chocolate powder? Distinguishing between cocoa powder and chocolate powder
- Chocolate (or chocolate) is made from the seeds of the cacao tree, which is commonly grown in the humid tropical forest regions of Central and South America, West Africa, and Southeast Asia.
- Pure chocolate powder has a characteristic bitter taste, often used in cooking, especially as a beloved ingredient for baking.
- Chocolate powder is made from the seeds of the cacao tree; in addition, during production, milk, sugar, caramel, and many other additives are added.
- Cocoa powder, on the other hand, is the solid part of the seed, finely ground and pressed for butter. Therefore, when using cocoa powder, it will have a bitter taste. Cocoa powder is light in color, has acidity, and a strong chocolate aroma.
What is all-purpose flour?
- All-purpose flour (All Purpose Flour/Plain Flour) is a type of flour widely used in many baking recipes.
- This type of flour has an average protein content of 10 – 12% and is made from hard or soft wheat grains.
- Flour, primarily composed of protein, when it comes into contact with water, will convert into gluten, which serves the main purpose of creating structure and firmness for baked goods.

How to make Chocolate lava cake using a rice cooker
-
Mix the chocolate powder
Prepare a medium bowl, add 4 tablespoons of chocolate powder and 1 tablespoon of hot water. Then mix well until the powder dissolves into a thick and smooth mixture.
-
Beat eggs with chocolate powder
Crack 1 egg into a bowl, add 2 tablespoons of sugar, then use a fork to beat until the egg is well combined with the sugar.
Add the beaten egg mixture into the chocolate powder mixture and stir well until they blend together into a smooth chocolate egg mixture.
-
Mix the cake batter
Add 3 tablespoons of flour into another bowl and then pour the chocolate egg mixture into it, mixing well to obtain a thick and dense batter.
Add 3 tablespoons of melted butter (melted in a double boiler or microwave) into the cake batter mixture and stir well to finish.
-
Steaming the cake
You brush a layer of cooking oil evenly into the cake mold, then pour the cake batter mixture into the mold. You do the same for the next cakes until all the batter is used.
Then add about 500ml of water into the rice cooker and bring it to a boil, then place the cake on the steaming tray and put it into the rice cooker.
To prevent water from condensing on the cake, use a cloth to cover the pot lid and then place the lid on the rice cooker. Steam the cake for about 8 minutes.
