Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons almond flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated erythritol
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 ounce dark chocolate chips (sugar-free)
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease two ramekins with butter or cooking spray.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the unsalted butter and dark chocolate chips. Microwave for 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated erythritol, cocoa powder, almond flour, and salt until well combined.
Add the dry ingredients to the melted chocolate mixture and mix until smooth.
In a separate small bowl, lightly beat the egg and vanilla extract together, then add to the chocolate mixture, stirring until everything is fully incorporated and smooth.
Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared ramekins.
Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center remains slightly jiggly.
Remove from oven and let the cakes cool for 1-2 minutes. Run a knife around the edges and carefully invert the cakes onto plates.
Enjoy immediately while warm for the best molten lava experience.
