steps
- 1.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease four ramekins with coconut oil.
- 2.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate and coconut oil together in 30-second intervals until smooth.
- 3.
In a separate bowl, whisk together almond flour, cocoa powder, maple syrup, eggs, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt until well combined.
- 4.
Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the bowl with the other ingredients and mix until a smooth batter forms.
- 5.
Divide the batter equally among the prepared ramekins.
- 6.
Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes until the edges are set, but the center is still slightly jiggly.
- 7.
Remove from the oven and allow them to rest for 1-2 minutes before gently loosening the edges with a knife.
- 8.
Carefully invert each ramekin onto a serving plate and tap gently to release the cake. Be cautious as the ramekins will be hot!
- 9.
Serve the molten lava cakes warm, garnished with fresh berries if desired, and dusted with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.
