These easy, keto, sugar free chocolate lava cakes are perfectly portioned for serving just two and made with just 7 ingredients!

WHAT IS A LAVA CAKE? 

Chocolate Lava Cakes or Molten Chocolate Cake is a combination of a flourless cake and a souffle. The decadent, delicious, oozing liquid chocolate center resembles lava in nature, hence the chocolate lava cake name.

These keto chocolate lava cakes are very easy to make low carb using a very small amount of almond flour, sugar free chocolate and your favorite keto sweetener. This recipe requires just 7 ingredients and is baked for about 10 minutes. Since they make the perfectly portioned size, you and your partner will each have your own mini cake to enjoy! 

HOW TO SWAP KETO SWEETENERS USED

One of our newer favorite low carb sweeteners that doesn't leave an aftertaste, is Better than Sugar by Sweetleaf. They have a confectioners powdered sweetener and they also have a granulated option. It's a combination of erythritol and stevia and has plenty of sweetness as sugar would provide.

 Swerve confectioners sweetener is also low carb, but doesn't have as much sweetness and you may need to use a bit more to get this as sweet as you like.  Allulose would be another option, but again it isn't as sweet as using the Better than Sugar sweetener. Allulose comes in a liquid, and granulated form.

TOOLS TO MAKE KETO LAVA CAKES

Stand Mixer-My stand mixer is used in most of my recipes as the quickest and easiest way to get the job done efficiently!

Glass Bowls-These glass bowls can be used for melting the chocolate and butter over a simmering pot of water on the stove or use to melt in the microwave. 

1 Cup Ramekins- These ramekins hold approximately 1 cup and make the perfect sized keto chocolate lava cake! Also use these for any of my other mug cakes, like my 1 Minute Chocolate cake or my Tiramisu Mug Cake, Cannoli Mug Cake or Peanut Butter Mug Cake. 

CAN I REPLACE ALMOND FLOUR?

If you have any allergies to almonds or just prefer not to use almond flour, you can easily swap it. I recommend swapping almond flour with sunflower seed flour because it can be swapped evenly with the same amount. Sesame flour would be another option but you make need less since it's a but more heavy in texture than sunflower seed flour and almond flour.

I do not recommend using coconut flour in this recipe as it would require more eggs and liquid and a lot more trials to get the same beautiful texture as you see here in the pictures.
