100% Cocoa Special Dark by Hershey's

⅔ cup
Coconut Oil

⅓ cup
The Ultimate Icing Sugar Replacement by Swerve

⅔ cup
Raw Egg

4 large
Vanilla Extract

1 teaspoon
Almond Flour

3 tablespoon

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425 F. Combine dark cocoa powder and coconut oil in a heatproof measuring cup or small bowl. Microwave on high for 30 seconds or until the coconut oil is melted. Stir the cocoa powder and oil together until lump-free. Set aside.
Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy and well combined. Add in the Swerve and whisk until lump-free.
Step 3

Add the chocolate mixture into the eggs and whisk well to combine. Add in the almond flour as well.
Step 4

Spray 4 oz ramekins with nonstick spray and evenly pour the chocolate mixture into each ramekin.
Step 5

Bake the ramekins for 6-7 minutes or until the desired doneness is achieved. If you like a more “lava” center, bake for a shorter amount of time. Add additional minutes if you want a cake more well done. Allow to cool slightly before serving, but serve cakes warm.
