Ingredients:

For the Cake:

• ½ cup Alt Almond Milk – keeps it moist and rich
• ½ cup dark chocolate (70% or higher), melted – deep cocoa flavor
• ¼ cup almond butter – for a nutty, silky center
• ¼ cup coconut sugar – adds caramel-like sweetness
• ¼ cup oat or almond flour – for a soft, gluten-free texture
• 1 tablespoon cocoa powder – deepens the chocolate intensity
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon – for warmth
• ¼ teaspoon chili powder – just enough heat to surprise you
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract – enhances the flavors
• ½ teaspoon baking soda – makes it rise just right
• A pinch of sea salt – because salt + chocolate = magic

How to Create This Lava Magic:

1. Preheat oven to 200°C (390°F) and grease small ramekins.
2. In a bowl, whisk melted dark chocolate, almond milk, coconut sugar, vanilla, and almond butter until silky.
3. Sift in flour, cocoa powder, cinnamon, chili powder, baking soda, and sea salt. Gently fold until smooth.
4. Pour batter into ramekins, filling halfway. Add a spoonful of almond butter in the center, then top with more batter.
5. Bake for 9-12 minutes – the edges should be set, but the center should still be gooey.
6. Let them sit for 1 minute, then carefully turn them onto plates.
7. Slice open, watch the lava flow, and experience chocolate heaven.

Ways to Take It to the Next Level:

• Top with chili-infused dark chocolate shavings – for an even deeper kick.
• Serve with coconut whipped cream – because why not?

Drizzle with warm salted caramel – for the ultimate indulgence.
