Warm, gooey, and sugar free, this single-serve keto lava cake bakes in 7 minutes with pantry basics. No blender, no stress, no chocolate squares.

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 415°F (210°C). Grease a ramekin and set it on a small tray.
  • In a bowl, mix almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and powdered sweetener.
    1 tbsp almond flour, 1/4 cup cocoa powder - unsweetened, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, 3 tbsp Swerve (granulated)
  • Add melted butter, vanilla extract and a room-temperature egg. Stir until the batter looks thick, glossy, and smooth.
    2 tbsp butter, unsalted, 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla extract - sugar free, 2 large eggs
  • Pour into the ramekin. Bake for 7 minutes. The edges will puff and set, and the center should still jiggle when gently shaken.
  • Remove from the oven and let sit for 1-2 minutes. The middle should read around 160°F if you check with a thermometer.

Notes

  • Baking Tips: Bake for 7 minutes for a soft center and set edges. The center should jiggle slightly when gently shaken. Internal temp should read 160–165°F if checking with a thermometer.
  • Ingredient Swaps: Coconut oil works instead of butter, but it changes the flavor. Don’t use coconut flour, it turns out dry and grainy. Use a granulated sweetener like Swerve. Avoid syrups or liquid drops.
  • Make Ahead: Batter can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 24 hours. If baking cold batter, add 1–2 extra minutes to the cook time.
