Yield 9 - 10 lava cakes

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tbsp dutch or additional unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 1/4 cup spelt, white, or gf ap flour (Low carb option: Keto Cupcakes)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar or xyiltol
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1/4 cup applesauce or yogurt
  • 1/4 cup oil
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp white or cider vinegar
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 2 tsp vegetable or coconut oil

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 F. Line muffin tins with liners. Mix all ingredients except the 2 tsp oil and 1 cup chips. Pour into the tins. Bake on the center rack 20 minutes or until cakes have risen and a toothpick inserted into the center of a cake comes out clean. Let cool. For the filling: very carefully melt the 1 cup chips, then stir in the 2 tsp oil for a thinner consistency. Use a spoon or knife to cut the center out of each lava cake, making sure to not go down too far. Set tops aside. Divide the filling among the cakes, then place tops back on. Top with ice cream, whipped cream, or frosting if desired to cover the seams. Enjoy!
