Ingredients

• 170 grams Dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
• 100 grams Unsalted butter
• 100 grams Powdered sugar
• 2 Large eggs
• 2 Egg yolks
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 30 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Cocoa powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and grease four 6-ounce ramekins with butter. Dust the insides with cocoa powder and tap out the excess.

Step 2

In a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate and butter. Melt them together in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring after each, until smooth and fully melted. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, eggs, egg yolks, and vanilla extract until well combined and slightly thickened.

Step 4

Gently fold the cooled chocolate mixture into the sugar and egg mixture using a spatula until fully combined.

Step 5

Sift the gluten-free all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt over the chocolate mixture. Carefully fold these dry ingredients into the batter until there are no visible streaks.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins.

Step 7

Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until the edges are firm but the center is still soft.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let the lava cakes rest for 1 minute before carefully running a knife around the edges to loosen them.

Step 9

Invert each ramekin onto a serving plate and gently tap to release the cake.

Step 10

Serve immediately, optionally with a dusting of powdered sugar or a scoop of gluten-free vanilla ice cream.
