What is a chocolate lava cake?

A chocolate lava cake is a single-serving chocolate cake that is under-baked so the inside stays uncooked, molten, and soft. You eat it warm and straight from the oven. It’s wonderful with a scoop of sugar-free vanilla ice cream, but equally good all on its own.

Preparation Time

• Cooking Time: 9 minutes
• Prep Time: 5 minutes
• Total Time: 14 minutes

Servings 2

Ingredients:

• 2 oz unsweetened chocolate (55g), at least 85% cocoa solids
• 1 tablespoon super-fine almond flour
• 2 oz unsalted butter, plus more for greasing ramekins
• 2 eggs
• 3.5 tablespoons powdered sweetener, or more depending on the chocolate you use

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
2. Grease 2 ramekins with butter.
3. Melt the chocolate and butter together in a saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth.
4. In a large bowl, beat the eggs until light and fluffy.
5. Add the chocolate mixture to the eggs and whisk until combined.
6. Stir in the almond flour and sweetener until well combined.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared ramekins.
8. Bake for 9 minutes, or until the top of the cakes is set but the center is still gooey.
9. Let the cakes cool for a few minutes before serving.

Tips:

• For a richer chocolate flavor, use a higher percentage of cocoa solids in your chocolate.
• If you don’t have super-fine almond flour, you can grind regular almond flour in a food processor until it is fine.
• Don’t over-bake the cakes, or the center will not be gooey.
• Serve the cakes immediately with your favorite toppings, such as sugar-free ice cream, whipped cream, or fresh berries.
