- 1 Tablespoon unsalted butter
- 3 Tablespoons almond flour
- 1 Tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 Tablespoons sugar-free granulated sweetener (like erythritol or Swerve)
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 large egg beaten
- vanilla extract A splash (optional, for extra flavor)
- 4 small squares Lily's Dark Chocolate Bar (or similar sugar-free dark chocolate)
In a microwave-safe ramekin or mug, gently melt the butter for about 10 seconds until just liquid. Swirl the melted butter around the inside of the dish to create a natural non-stick coating – a healthy way to prevent sticking!
Add the almond flour, cocoa powder, sugar-free sweetener, baking powder, and the beaten egg to the ramekin. Mix everything really well with a fork until you have a smooth, rich batter.
Carefully place the four chocolate squares right in the center of your batter. These will melt into the delicious "lava" center!
Microwave on high for just 60 seconds. It's crucial not to overcook it; we want that perfectly moist cake and gooey center, not a dry one!
Once cooked, carefully flip the ramekin upside down onto a serving plate. You might need a gentle tap or a spoon to help the beautiful lava cake slide out.
For a final touch, if you like, sprinkle a little powdered sugar-free sweetener on top. Enjoy your guilt-free, healthy chocolate indulgence!
