Ingredients
Lava Cakes
- 1/4 cup (55g) unsalted butter (regular or plant-based), plus more for ramekins
- 1/4 cup (65g) Chocolate SunButter
- 3 tbsp granulated sugar, plus more for ramekins
- 1 large egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tbsp all-purpose flour (regular or gluten free)
- 1 tbsp dutch process cocoa powder
- Powdered sugar, for topping
Instructions
Lava Cakes
- Preheat the oven to 400F. Butter the inside of two 8 oz ramekins and coat in sugar. Place on a baking sheet and set aside.
- In a heat-safe measuring glass or bowl, melt together the butter and chocolate SunButter in the microwave. Set aside.
- In a small mixing bowl, whip together the sugar, egg, and egg yolk. I recommend using an electric mixer if possible, otherwise you’ll really have to put in some elbow grease. The mixture should turn pale and frothy.
- Then mix in the chocolate mixture with the flour and cocoa powder.
- Split the batter between the two ramekins and bake for 12-15 minutes. They’re done when the edges are puffed and the center looks underdone with a slight wobble.
- Allow to cool for about 5 minutes, then turn out, dust with powdered sugar, and serve with ice cream. Enjoy!
