Preheat your oven to 200Β°C (392Β°F) and grease four ramekins with unsalted butter.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate and butter. Melt in the microwave at 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until both are fully melted and smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the erythritol, eggs, and vanilla extract until frothy.
Add the melted chocolate mixture to the egg mixture, whisking until combined.
In another bowl, mix the coconut flour, almond flour, salt, and baking powder. Gradually fold this dry mixture into the wet ingredients until no visible flour remains.
Evenly distribute the batter into the prepared ramekins.
Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 11-12 minutes. The cakes should have cooked edges with a slightly soft center.
Remove from the oven and let them sit for a minute. Use a knife to gently loosen the edges, if necessary.
Invert each ramekin onto a dessert plate and serve immediately for the best gooey center. Enjoy your low carb molten lava cake!
