Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 sugar-free dark chocolate
  • 2 tbsp almond flour
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder (unsweetened)
  • 2 tbsp erythritol (or preferred keto sweetener)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 egg yolk
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Equipment

  • 2 Ramekins
  • 1 Mixing bowls
  • 1 Whisk
  • 1 Measuring Spoons/Cups
  • 1 Oven

Method
 

  1. Melt the Chocolate: Start by melting the butter and no-sugar-added dark chocolate in a microwave or over a double boiler until smooth and shiny.
  2. Whisk the Eggs: In a separate bowl, beat the egg, egg yolk, erythritol and vanilla extract until light and a bit frothy.
  3. Combine Mixtures: Fold the melted chocolate mixture into the whisked eggs, stirring to combine.
  4. Add Dry Ingredients: Mix in the almond flour, cocoa powder, and a small pinch of salt until you have a thick batter.
  5. Prepare Ramekins: Grease 2 ramekins with butter and divide the batter between the two.
  6. Bake: Transfer into a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C), bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are set and centers are still slightly soft.
  7. Rest and Serve: Allow cakes to rest for 2-3 minutes; carefully invert onto plates. Serve hot with whipped cream or powdered cocoa.

Notes

  • Do not overbake; the center will remain gooey.
  • Room-temperature eggs make for a less lumpy batter.
  • Extra batter can be frozen for fast desserts down the line.
  • For the best flavor, always use good-quality sugar-free chocolate.
  • Serve right away perfect lava like texture.
