Chocolate Lava Cake (Gluten-Free)
Gluten-free Chocolate Lava Cake is rich, chocolatey, and very easy to make. It takes less than 30 minutes and a few ingredients to have this magical chocolate dessert that everyone loves!
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter (170gr) plus more for greasing the ramekins
- 6 ounces dark chopped chocolate (170gr)
- 3 egg yolks
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 cup white granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup corn starch (60gr)
- Optional: vanilla ice cream or whipped cream to serve.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 460°F. Butter and lightly dust with cocoa powder six 1/2 cup ramekins. Place the ramekins on a baking sheet.
- In a deep saucepan melt the butter with the chopped chocolate.
- Remove from the fire and add the egg yolks and eggs while beating vigorously with a hand whisker.
- Add the sugar and mix, then sift the corn starch and mix until well incorporated.
- Place the mixture in the prepared ramekins.
- Bake for 7 minutes. Before placing the molds in the oven, make sure it's completely preheated, at high temperature.
- Let cool for 1 minute before unmolding. To unmold the cake run carefully a knife around the edge of each ramekin. Invert in the plate and serve immediately with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
- Keep careful and stay tuned when the cakes are in the oven, you don't want them to overbake. If you overbake them the center will dry, and you will miss the lava effect.
- If you don't have 1/2 cup ramekins, you can use ramekins and you will get 4 lava cakes because they are bigger and you should bake them 3 minutes more.
