How to Make Decadent Duo Chocolate Lava Cakes

1. Oven Preheating

Heat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Thoroughly butter two 4-ounce ramekins and then coat them with cocoa powder to prevent sticking. Tap out the excess powder.

2. Chocolate Base

Gently warm the butter, chocolate, and sweetener in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir continuously until the mixture is silky and fully combined. Remove from the heat to cool briefly.

3. Mixing Wet Ingredients

Into the slightly cooled chocolate mixture, whisk the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract until the mixture is glossy and smooth.

4. Dry Ingredients Integration

Fold in the almond flour and salt into the chocolate mixture until no dry streaks remain. Ensure the batter is even and smooth.

5. Baking

Pour the batter equally into the prepared ramekins. Place in the oven and bake for approximately 15 minutes. The cakes are done when the edges appear firm, but the center slightly wobbles.

6. Resting

After removing the cakes from the oven, let them rest in the ramekins for 5 minutes. This allows the cakes to settle and makes for easier removal.

7. Unmolding

Carefully trace the edges of each cake with a knife to loosen. Invert a plate over each ramekin, grasp both securely and turn them over together. Give a firm shake to release the cakes onto the plates.
