Ingredients

  • 0.5 cup all -purpose flour
  • 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 0.25 cup granulated cane sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.125 teaspoon sea salt
  • 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
  • 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 ounces 70% dark vegan chocolate, broken into large chunks

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease two 6-ounce ramekins with coconut oil and a light dusting of cocoa powder.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt until no lumps remain.
  • Add the almond milk, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture, stirring with a spatula until the batter is smooth.
  • Divide half of the batter equally between the two prepared ramekins.
  • Place 1 ounce of the dark vegan chocolate chunks into the center of each ramekin on top of the batter.
  • Cover the chocolate chunks with the remaining batter, ensuring they are fully submerged and the surface is level.
  • Bake for 14 to 16 minutes until the sides are set and firm to the touch, but the center remains soft and slightly jiggly.
  • Remove from the oven and allow the cakes to rest in the ramekins for 5 minutes to stabilize the structure.
  • Gently run a thin knife around the inner edge of each ramekin and invert the cakes onto serving plates.
