Ingredients

4 servings

For the cakes

2 tbsp coconut oil, plus more for greasing
4 oz dairy free dark chocolate (70% cacao or higher), roughly chopped
3 tbsp maple syrup
2 large eggs
2 large egg yolks
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
¼ cup almond flour
¼ tsp fine sea salt
1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting

For serving

fresh raspberries, for serving (optional)

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease four 6-oz ramekins generously with coconut oil, then dust each with a thin, even layer of cocoa powder, tapping out any excess. Place the ramekins on a baking sheet.
2
Combine the chopped dark chocolate and 2 tbsp coconut oil in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth, about 3–4 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool for 2 minutes.
