My Gluten Free Chocolate Crumble Mini Cakes Recipe (dairy free option)

A delicious chocolate crumble cake recipe using the Tefal Cake Factory. It takes me back to my school dinner days mixing my two favourite desserts - chocolate cake and crumble. Serve it up with chocolate custard for the ultimate nostalgia!

Ingredients

For the cake

  • 110 g dark chocolate (52% or higher is ideal, dairy free if necessary)
  • 90 g butter, cubed (dairy free alternative if necessary)
  • 2 eggs
  • 70 g caster sugar
  • 40 g gluten free plain flour

For the crumble

  • 25 g caster sugar
  • 15 g cocoa (dairy free if necessary)
  • 25 g gluten free plain flour
  • 25 g butter, cold and cubed (dairy free alternative if necessary)
  • 25 g gluten free oats

Instructions

  • Place your chocolate and butter into the tin, then place into the Cake Factory. Use the chocolate melting setting to melt for 7 minutes. Once the time is up, open the lid, mix to fully combine and leave to one side to cool a little.
  • Whilst your chocolate mixture cools, make your crumble. In a small bowl add all your crumble ingredients except the oats. Rub the butter in to the dry ingredients using your fingers until a crumble consistency.
  • Stir in your gluten free oats to the crumble mixture and put to one side whilst you continue with the cake mix.
  • Separate your egg whites from your yolks. Put your whites to one side briefly. Place your egg yolks in a bowl with your caster sugar and mix until combined and paler in colour (I did this with an electric hand whisk but you could do it by hand).
  • Add in your chocolate mixture and mix once more until combined.
  • Then add your gluten free plain flour and mix in to fully combine.
  • In a separate bowl whisk your egg whites together until they turn white with stiff peaks. Once stiff add your egg whites in 3 stages to your cake mixture. Folding the whites in thoroughly before adding the next bit.
  • Spoon your cake mixture equally into the six moulds.
  • Sprinkle your crumble mixture on top of all the cakes.
  • Place your tray into the Cake Factory and turn to the Individual cakes setting for 30 minutes.
  • Once time is up, remove the tray from the Cake Factory and leave to cool briefly before pushing the cakes out.
  • Serve up warm or cold. I like some extra melted chocolate and chocolate custard with mine. Enjoy!
