How to Make Molten Lava Cakes Gluten Free

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease and flour (or grease and coat with gluten-free flour) two 6-ounce ramekins.
  2. In a medium bowl, melt the chocolate and butter together in a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks (optional), and sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Gently fold the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. In another bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared ramekins.
  8. Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is still slightly soft. Cooking time may vary depending on your oven and desired level of doneness.
  9. Let the cakes cool for a few minutes before carefully inverting them onto plates. Serve immediately and enjoy!
