Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease four ramekins with a bit of coconut oil, then set them aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate and coconut oil. Heat in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Allow to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
In a food processor or blender, blend the silken tofu until smooth and creamy. Add the almond milk, sugar, and vanilla extract, then blend again until well mixed.
Pour the blended tofu mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients, then add the melted chocolate mixture. Gently fold together until just combined and batter is smooth.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins. Place the ramekins on a baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes. The edges should be firm, but the center should still be soft.
Let the cakes cool in the ramekins for 5 minutes before gently running a knife around the edges to help remove them.
Invert the cakes onto serving plates and serve immediately for that perfect molten center.
