Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams Unsweetened dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa)
- 100 grams Unsalted butter
- 100 grams Granulated erythritol or preferred keto sweetener
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 40 grams Almond flour
- 1 tablespoon Cocoa powder, unsweetened
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F). Grease four 6-ounce ramekins with butter and set aside.
Melt the dark chocolate and butter together in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and granulated erythritol using an electric mixer until pale and frothy, about 3-4 minutes.
Gently fold the melted chocolate mixture into the egg and erythritol mixture using a spatula, ensuring it is well combined.
Add vanilla extract, almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Fold gently until the batter is smooth and well mixed.
Evenly divide the batter among the prepared ramekins.
Bake in the preheated oven for 11-13 minutes until the edges are set and the center is still slightly wobbly.
Remove from oven and let the cakes cool for 1-2 minutes in the ramekins.
Carefully invert each ramekin onto a serving plate, allowing the fondant to slip out. Serve immediately for a lava-like chocolate center.
