Decadent Duo Chocolate Lava Cakes

1. Preheat Oven

Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F. While the oven is warming up, generously grease two 4-ounce ramekins and lightly dust them with cocoa powder. This will ensure your lava cakes release easily after baking without sticking to the sides.

2. Melt Ingredients

In a small saucepan over low heat, melt together the butter, chopped unsweetened chocolate, and granulated erythritol sweetener. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and glossy. This melting process is crucial as it creates a consistent base for your batter, ensuring even distribution of the chocolate and sweetener.

3. Combine Mixture

Once the chocolate mixture is ready, remove it from the heat and allow it to cool slightly. Then, whisk in the large egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract until well combined. Gently fold in the blanched almond flour and salt, ensuring the batter is smooth and free of lumps.

4. Fill Ramekins

Divide the prepared batter evenly between the two ramekins. Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes. Keep a close eye on the cakes; the sides should be set while the center remains slightly jiggly when gently shaken. This balance is key to achieving the perfect molten center.

5. Cool and Serve

Once baked, remove the ramekins from the oven and let the cakes cool for about 5 minutes. To release the cakes, run a sharp knife around the edge of each ramekin, then carefully invert them onto plates. Give a gentle shake if needed to help the cakes come free. Serve your Decadent Duo Chocolate Lava Cakes immediately while they are warm and the centers are still molten.
