  • Total Time: 26 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp (35 g) neutral oil
  • 3 oz (85 g) vegan chocolate
  • 1/4 cup (60 mL) dairy free milk

Dry Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp (36 g) sugar
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/8 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup (56 g) all purpose flour

Additional

  • 2–4 large squares of chocolate, for the centers

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare ramekins: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease the ramekins with oil and dust them with cocoa powder to prevent sticking and add extra chocolate flavor.
  2. Melt chocolate and combine wet ingredients: In a medium microwave-safe bowl, heat the vegan chocolate in 30-second bursts, stirring well between each, until fully melted and smooth. Stir in the neutral oil until combined.
  3. Add dry ingredients: Into the melted chocolate mixture, whisk in the sugar, baking powder, sea salt, and cocoa powder vigorously to ensure even mixing.
  4. Add flour and dairy free milk: Stir in the all-purpose flour and dairy free milk until there are no lumps and the batter is smooth.
  5. Fill ramekins with batter and add chocolate centers: Spoon the batter into the ramekins, filling them about 3/4 full. Place 1 heaping tablespoon of chocolate squares into the center of each ramekin, then cover with the remaining batter to seal the chocolate inside.
  6. Bake: Arrange the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 14 to 16 minutes, until the centers just begin to set but remain gooey.
  7. Cool and unmold: Remove ramekins from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes to allow the lava cakes to set.
  8. Serve: Run a knife gently along the edges of the cakes to loosen them (use oven mitts if hot), then carefully invert each ramekin onto a serving plate. Top with vegan coconut whipped cream or vegan vanilla ice cream and enjoy immediately.
