Ingredients
- 150 grams Dark chocolate (dairy-free)
- 75 grams Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 large Egg yolks
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 50 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Cocoa powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F). Grease four ramekins (approximately 6 ounces each) with a small amount of coconut oil and dust with cocoa powder, tapping out the excess.
Step 2
In a heatproof bowl, combine the dairy-free dark chocolate and coconut oil. Set the bowl over a pot of simmering water, making sure the bowl doesn’t touch the water, and stir until melted and smooth.
Step 3
Remove the bowl from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Set aside to cool slightly.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, and granulated sugar until the mixture is pale and slightly thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 5
Gently fold the cooled chocolate mixture into the egg mixture using a spatula. Be careful not to deflate the eggs.
Step 6
Sift the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and sea salt together. Gently fold these dry ingredients into the chocolate mixture until just combined.
Step 7
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins and place them on a baking tray.
Step 8
Bake the cakes in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are firm and the center is soft and gooey.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let sit for 1-2 minutes before carefully running a knife around the edges to loosen.
Step 10
Invert each ramekin onto a serving plate and serve immediately. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar or serve with a scoop of dairy-free ice cream.
