Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 170 grams Dark chocolate
- 85 grams Coconut oil
- 100 grams Coconut sugar
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 1 piece Egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 30 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F) and generously grease four ramekins with coconut oil, then dust them with cocoa powder to prevent sticking.
In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate and coconut oil. Heat in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the mixture is smooth and melted. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the coconut sugar, eggs, egg yolk, and vanilla extract until the mixture is light and frothy.
Slowly pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, stirring continuously to combine thoroughly.
Sift the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt over the chocolate batter. Gently fold in the dry ingredients using a spatula until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins.
Place the ramekins onto a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are firm but the centers are soft.
Remove the ramekins from the oven and let them cool for 1 minute. Carefully invert each ramekin onto a serving plate for the lava cakes to release.
Serve immediately to enjoy the molten chocolate center, optionally with a dusting of powdered sugar or fresh berries.
