Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Grease two small ramekins or oven-safe bowls lightly with butter or non-stick spray.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, erythritol, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix until well combined.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and sugar-free dark chocolate together, heating in 20-second intervals and stirring in between until smooth.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the melted chocolate mixture and whisk until fully combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until a smooth batter forms.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared ramekins.
Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still soft.
Let the cakes cool for a minute or two, then carefully run a knife around the edges and invert onto serving plates.
Serve immediately to enjoy the luscious, gooey center.
