Cake for One?! This Mini Magic Pot is Cute, Convenient, and Useful

Baking desserts in an RJ Legends Mini Cast Iron Pot can be quite appealing. If you have never done this before, I think starting with an extremely simple dessert like a keto pumpkin lava cake is a great option. This recipe for the keto pumpkin lava cake was born from my plenty of research and scrolling to find that ideal dessert for the season of fall and winter coming up and about whether it would be possible to bake a low-carb dessert in my RJ Legend mini cast iron pot. The recipe is quite simple and will only take about less than 45 minutes to cook and serve just for yourself!

The RJ Legend Mini Cast Iron Pot Is The Perfect Accessory to Your Kitchen.

There's no denying that cast iron cookware is one of the best materials on the market at the moment. It lasts a lifetime, cooks’ food evenly, and it's also versatile in terms of which types of food you can cook with it. But what if you don't have a kitchen full of space? What if you don't have room for a standard sized cast iron skillet? That's where the RJ Legend Mini Cast Iron Pot comes in. It offers an alternative solution for people who want to enjoy all the benefits of cast iron cooking, but don't have room for a skillet or other cast iron cookware.

With the enameled cast iron pot from RJ Legend, you can get a set of 3 to make those tasty pumpkin lava cakes. They offer an arrangement of colors as well from black, white, green, orange, and yellow. You can choose which style of color to make that delicious meal pop and look eye gazing.

As I mentioned earlier, RJ Legend offers a set of 3 mini pots with multiple colors to choose from. I used to bake and cook items of a pan or iron skillet but now, I do most of my cooking on the cast iron pot because of the functionality and how budget friendly it is.

This is ideal for those days where you don’t have enough time to make a full course meal. This is simply for yourself, or you can share with 2 in whatever recipe you cook. With the set of 3 maybe you can gift one of each to your loves or you can keep them all to yourself. You don’t have to make a pumpkin lava cake, but you should give it a try because it will make you melt.

Have you tried a keto pumpkin lava cake in a mini cast iron pot?

I’ll be honest and tell you that I’ve never tried some of the things listed. When it comes to desserts, I tend to stick with a standard flavor profile. Chocolate, Vanilla, and strawberry are my go-to’s. This doesn’t mean I don’t like trying new flavors, it just means they have to taste good in order for me to want them again. Then I finally discovered that one recipe to help my craving and also watch my diet.

It's not every day that you get to try a keto pumpkin lava cake, but it's even rarer to try a keto pumpkin lava cake baked in a mini cast iron pot. If you're wondering what I'm talking about, I will breakdown this keto pumpkin lava cake recipe that is perfect for the upcoming holidays.

Ingredients breakdown

The total time to make this recipe is about 45 minutes with a total about 4 servings. The ingredients are nothing out of the ordinary so here is the list:

½ recipe sugar free caramel sugar
1/3 cup pumpkin puree
¼ cup butter, melted
2 large eggs
½ teaspoons of vanilla extract
6 tablespoons of powdered sweetener
6 tablespoons of almond flour
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

Method

First, prepare the caramel sauce, then allow it to cool and solidify. Since only half of the caramel sauce is required for this recipe, you can easily accomplish that. Alternately, you can prepare the entire recipe and reserve the extra for ice cream toppings.

Although you don't turn these keto lava cakes out of the mini pots, you should still oil them. It prevents the cakey goodness from sticking to the sides and hardening.

Each mini pot pumpkin batter should have a well made in the middle to hold the caramel sauce. To seal the caramel sauce in, make sure some batter is spread over the bottom and the edges.

For each cake, use around 1 spoonful of keto caramel sauce. If you let it to cool sufficiently, it ought to have firmed up a little. When adding it to the cakes, you don't want it to be fully liquid.

The remaining batter should be used to cover the caramel, and the tops should be as smooth as possible with a spoon.

The cakes are finished when the top is almost completely set to the touch and the sides have set. They will become a little bit rough if you bake them for too long.

Do exercise some patience and give them 10 minutes to cool. If you attempt to consume them too soon, they can burn your mouth!

For the best lava cake experience, top them with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream!

Cooking method

Follow the instructions to make the caramel sauce but skip Step 4 and add no more water. Allow it to totally cool before continuing.

Grease 3 mini pots lightly and preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

The pumpkin puree, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract should all be combined in a big basin. Almond flour, pumpkin pie spice, and sweetener should all be thoroughly blended.

To fill the bottom of each mini pot, distribute about 2/3 of the batter between them. Make a well in the batter with a spoon (you want some batter to cover the bottom of the mini-pot but raised on the sides).

Each well should include 1 tablespoon of caramel sauce. To top the caramel in each mini-pot, use the remaining batter.

The cakes should be baked for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden brown and the tops are barely firm to the touch. There can be a small amount of caramel sauce bursting through the top.

Before serving in the mini-pot, remove and allow to cool for ten minutes

If preferred, serve with the remaining caramel sauce and keto vanilla ice cream on top. If the sauce has significantly thickened, add one tablespoon of water and slowly reheat in the pan.

It is a great way to prepare the keto pumpkin lava cake and makes it easy to serve up your unique dessert.

These mini enameled cast iron pots can help retain that heat in the pot so when you are cooking the lava cake, it will be denser and fluffier. I have tried this at home and let me tell you, it was a sight to behold, and the taste was extraordinary. Oven or stovetop, I prefer cooking it in the oven since its what I am used to when baking in the pot.

The size of the pot is not to small and not large which makes it a perfect amount for a single person meal. After a nice meaty dinner, you can whip up a pumpkin lava cake on the quick to satisfy the craving within 45 minutes. The mini cast iron pot makes the job so much easier since you can cook and serve it with the pot to save time and you won’t have to wash as many dishes!
