Ingredients
  

  • 2 oz 100% dark chocolate
  • 4 tablespoons butter melted
  • 1/4 cup powdered erythritol
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons almond flour
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Equipment

  • Ramekins
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Double boiler or microwave-safe bowl
  • Oven

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it’s hot enough to create that beautiful molten center.
  2. Step 2: Grease four ramekins with butter to prevent the cakes from sticking. Dust them lightly with almond flour for extra insurance!
  3. Step 3: In a double boiler or microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate and butter together. Stir until smooth and let it cool slightly.
  4. Step 4: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the powdered erythritol, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined. Gradually add the melted chocolate mixture, stirring continuously.
  5. Step 5: Gently fold in the almond flour until just combined; do not overmix.
  6. Step 6: Pour the batter into the prepared ramekins, filling them about three-quarters full.
  7. Step 7: Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake for about 12 minutes, until edges are set but the center remains soft.
  8. Step 8: Remove from oven, let cool for 1 minute, then invert onto plates and serve warm.

Notes

  • These cakes are best eaten fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
  • To reheat, microwave for 15-20 seconds until warmed through.
  • Avoid freezing, as it can negatively affect the texture.
