How to Make Your First Snow Lava Cake

1. Make the Angel Chiffon

1. Preheat your oven.
2. Whisk egg whites and sugar until stiff peaks form.
3. In another bowl, mix coconut milk, milk, oil, and egg yolk.
4. Sift in cake flour, milk powder, and cornstarch. Mix until smooth.
5. Fold the meringue gently into the batter in 3 additions.
6. Pour into two 5-inch tall molds and tap to release air bubbles.
7. Bake until the top springs back when pressed.
8. Cool upside down to keep the cake extra fluffy.

Your cake will be soft, airy, and snowy white — just like winter.

2. Prepare the Blue Cream

1. Warm a little cream and dissolve the butterfly pea powder.
2. Mix it with the remaining cold cream.
3. Add sugar and whip until thick and smooth.

This gives your cake that stunning frozen-winter-sky look.

3. Make the Snowfall Pour-Over Cream

1. Whip cream and sugar until slightly runny and lava-like.
2. Chill until ready to pour.

4. Assemble the Cake

1. Spread the sky-blue cream over the cooled cake.
2. Smooth the surface and sides.
3. Right before serving, pour the white lava cream over the top.

It flows down beautifully like melting Christmas snow.

❓ 5 Q&A About This Cake

1. Why is the cake so white and fluffy?

The cake uses mostly whipped egg whites, giving it an ultra-light, snow-like texture and color — just like winter clouds.

2. What gives the cream its sky-blue color?

Butterfly pea flower powder! It creates a natural pastel blue shade without artificial coloring, perfect for a “frozen sky” theme.

3. How do I make the lava cream flow nicely?

Whip the cream only to a loose, pourable consistency. If it’s too thick, it won’t drip; if too thin, it won’t coat smoothly.

4. Why does the cake need to cool upside down?

This prevents the chiffon from collapsing and keeps it tall, fluffy, and cloud-soft — especially important for angel cakes.

5. Can I use food coloring instead of butterfly pea?

Yes! A drop of blue gel color works fine. Use sparingly to keep the dreamy, wintery pastel look.

This Merry Christmas “First Snow” Lava Cake is soft, creamy, and absolutely enchanting.
