How to Make Fudgy Gluten Free Chocolate Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour four 6-ounce ramekins or oven-safe mugs.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together gluten-free flour, sugar, cocoa powder, and salt until well combined.
  3. Add sour cream and 6 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Mix with a spoon until a thick paste forms.
  4. Stir in heavy cream and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  5. Whisk in the remaining ¼ cup of vegetable oil until the batter is smooth.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling each about ¾ full.
  8. For oven baking: Bake for 17-20 minutes for a lava cake, or 23-26 minutes for a fully baked cake. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with moist crumbs for a lava cake, and clean for a fully baked cake.
  9. For microwave baking: Microwave each ramekin for 2-4 minutes, or until heated through. Cooking time may vary depending on your microwave's power.
  10. Let the cakes cool for 5 minutes before inverting them onto plates.
  11. Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm with a scoop of ice cream, if desired.
