Instructions
1
First, preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and grease 3 ramekins (mine are 3 inches wide) with olive oil spray.
2
Next, melt dark chocolate chips and coconut oil in the microwave in 30 second increments. Mix until smooth and creamy. Then, set aside.
3
Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl or KitchenAid, beat eggs and coconut sugar on high for 1 minute.
4
Turn speed to low and slowly add in melted chocolate. Once mixed, sift in almond flour and cocoa powder.
5
After that, pour mixture equally into 3 ramekins and place ramekins on baking sheet.
6
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until edges are set but middle is still jiggly. Mine were perfect at 11 minutes.
7
Next, remove from oven and cool lava cakes for 5 minutes.
8
Lastly, gently run a thin knife around the edge of each ramekin. Next, place a plate upside down over each ramekin and invert ramekin, releasing lava cake.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Master the Molten Center 🍫Slightly underbake your lava cakes by 30-45 seconds—the centers should jiggle slightly when you gently shake the ramekin, ensuring a perfect liquid chocolate ganache that flows when cut.
- Temper Your Chocolate Base ⚖️Melt chocolate chips and coconut oil together over a double boiler rather than direct heat to prevent seizing, which creates a smoother, silkier batter that bakes more evenly.
- Room Temperature Eggs are Essential 🥚Use eggs at room temperature for 20-30 minutes before mixing—cold eggs create lumpy batter and uneven cooking, while room temperature eggs blend smoothly for a consistent crumb structure.
- Coat Ramekins Strategically 🧈Butter and cocoa powder coat your ramekins generously, focusing extra cocoa on the bottom—this prevents sticking and creates those signature crispy, flavorful edges that make lava cakes special.
- Invest in Precise Timing ⏱️Bake at exactly 425°F for 12-14 minutes and use a kitchen timer—even 60 seconds over transforms the molten center into a fully baked cake, so precision is critical for success.
