Ingredients
- ⅓ cup refined coconut oil
- ½ cup vegan chocolate chips
- 2 eggs
- 1 egg yolk
- ¼ cup coconut sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 1 tablespoon tapioca starch
- 3 tablespoons almond flour
- Coconut milk ice cream (for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F. Grease two 6-ounce ramekins with refined coconut oil and set aside.
- Melt the chocolate and oil. Place the coconut oil and chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat for 60 seconds, then stir well. Continue heating in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth.
- Whisk the wet ingredients. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolk, coconut sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
- Combine mixtures. Gently fold the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture. Then stir in the tapioca starch and almond flour until smooth.
- Fill the ramekins evenly with the batter.
- Bake for 12 minutes, then let the cakes sit for 1 minute.
- Release and serve. Carefully run a knife around the edges and invert each cake onto a plate. Top with coconut milk ice cream and enjoy immediately.
