Ingredients

Cake Batter
4 tbsp all-purpose flour
4 tbsp granulated sugar
2 tbsp cocoa powder
1 egg
3 tbsp melted butter
3 tbsp milk
½ tsp vanilla extract
pinch of salt
Lava Center
2 squares (1 oz each) dark chocolate
powdered sugar for dusting

Equipment

  • Ramekins Set

Steps

  1. 1

    Whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, and salt in a bowl, then add the egg, melted butter, milk, and vanilla and stir until smooth.

  2. 2

    Grease two oven-safe ramekins and pour batter halfway up each one.

  3. 3

    Press one square of dark chocolate into the center of each ramekin, then cover with remaining batter.

  4. 4

    Place ramekins in the air fryer and cook at 370°F for 12–14 minutes until the tops are set but the centers still jiggle slightly.

  5. 5

    Let rest for 1 minute, then carefully invert onto plates, dust with powdered sugar, and serve immediately.

💡

Tip: The key to a perfect molten center is pulling the cakes out while the top is set but the middle still has a slight jiggle. Check at 11 minutes your first time and adjust from there.
