Coffee and Dark Chocolate Lava Cake

Ingredients
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ cup coconut sugar
- ⅓ cup brewed espresso strong and judgmental
- ½ cup unsweetened almond milk
- ¼ cup melted coconut oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp sea salt
- 80 g vegan dark chocolate chunks toss ‘em in like bad decisions
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F and grease four ramekins like your life depends on it.
- In a bowl, whisk flour, cocoa, baking powder, sugar, and salt like you’re stirring the tea.
- Add espresso, almond milk, oil, and vanilla—mix until smooth but don’t overwork it (unlike yourself).
- Spoon half the batter into ramekins.
- Add a few chocolate chunks to each center like you’re building a surprise plot twist.
- Cover with remaining batter. Don’t peek—it ruins the magic.
- Bake for 12 minutes. The edges should set, but centers stay temptingly soft.
- Cool for 2 minutes, flip onto a plate, and serve warm. Dramatic pause optional.
