A decadent, halal-friendly, and gluten-free chocolate lava cake with a rich molten center, requiring minimal ingredients and taking less than 30 minutes to prepare.

Ingredients

Scale

4 oz Halal Certified Dark Chocolate
1/2 cup Unsalted Butter
1/4 cup Organic Cane Sugar
2 whole Large Eggs
2 Large Egg Yolks
2 tbsp Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour
1 tsp Halal Non-Alcoholic Vanilla Extract
1 pinch Sea Salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C). Grease four 6-ounce ramekins with butter and dust them with cocoa powder
  2. Melt the dark chocolate and butter together using a double boiler or a microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth and glossy
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the whole eggs, egg yolks, sugar, and vanilla vigorously until the mixture becomes thick and pale
  4. Slowly fold the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture using a spatula to preserve volume
  5. Sift the gluten-free flour and salt over the batter and fold until just combined, being careful not to overmix
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the four prepared ramekins and place them on a baking sheet
  7. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes until the sides are firm but the center remains slightly soft
  8. Let the cakes cool in the ramekins for exactly one minute before inverting them onto a plate

Notes

Always use room temperature eggs to ensure they incorporate properly into the chocolate.

Use a high-quality chocolate bar rather than chips for a smoother lava flow.

Do not skip the one-minute rest period after baking; it helps the cake set enough to be inverted.

To reheat, microwave on medium power for 30 to 45 seconds or place in a 350°F oven for 5 to 8 minutes.

Dust ramekins with cocoa powder instead of flour to avoid white streaks on the finished cake.
