Decadent and gooey chocolate lava cakes that are naturally gluten-free.
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease and flour (with cocoa powder or gluten-free flour) four ramekins.
In a heatproof bowl set over a simmering pot of water (double boiler), melt the chocolate and butter together, stirring occasionally until smooth. Remove from heat.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, and sugar until light and pale.
Gradually whisk the egg mixture into the melted chocolate mixture until combined.
Stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared ramekins.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still soft. The baking time will vary depending on your oven, so start checking at 12 minutes.
Let cool for a minute or two, then carefully invert the cakes onto plates. Dust with powdered sugar and serve immediately.
Nutrition per serving (100g)
For a richer flavor, use a high-quality bittersweet chocolate.
Don't overbake the cakes, or they won't have the lava center.
Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or fresh berries for an extra treat.
