Ingredients
  

  • ¼ cup or 25g (0.88 oz) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ¼ cup or 48g (1.69 oz) granular erythritol
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons or 30ml (1 fl oz) unsweetened coconut milk
  • 1 teaspoon or 5ml (0.2 fl oz) pure vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons or 32g (1.13 oz) reduced-sugar creamy peanut butter, warmed for drizzling optional
  • Pro-Tips
  • The secret to a molten center is to not overbake. Pull the cakes from the oven when the center is still soft and jiggly. They will continue to set slightly as they cool.
  • For the perfect peanut butter drizzle, microwave it in a small bowl in 15-second intervals, stirring in between, until it reaches a smooth, pourable consistency.
  • Customize your cakes by adding a tablespoon of sugar-free chocolate chips to the center of each ramekin before baking for an extra molten surprise.

Method
 

  1. Directions
  2. Prepare your station: Preheat your oven to 350°F or 175°C (350°F). Thoroughly grease two 6-ounce ramekins and place them on a small, rimmed baking sheet for easy handling.
  3. Mix the batter: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cocoa powder, erythritol, eggs, coconut milk, vanilla extract, and baking powder.
  4. Whisk vigorously until the batter is completely smooth and no lumps remain.
  5. Pour the batter evenly into your prepared ramekins.
  6. Bake to perfection: Bake for 14-16 minutes. The key is to have the edges look set and firm, while the center still has a slight jiggle. This ensures that molten lava center we all love.
  7. Serve immediately: Carefully remove the ramekins from the oven.
  8. Let them cool for just a minute before serving. If using, gently warm the peanut butter in the microwave and drizzle it over the top of the warm cakes.
  9. In a hurry?
  10. Cook one cake at a time in a microwave-safe ramekin for 60-70 seconds. Watch it closely as microwave times vary.
