Air Fryer chocolate molten lava cakes
Ingredients
- 6 Tablespoon unsalted butter cut into pieces
- 4 oz semi-sweet chocolate bar broken into pieces
- 1 large egg
- 1 egg yolk from a large egg
- 3 Tablespoons white sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Grease 3 6-ounce ramekins and set aside.
- Melt butter and chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in for about 1 minute until melted, stirring every 30 seconds. Set aside.
- In a separate large bowl, use an electric beater and beat egg, egg yolk, vanilla extract, and sugar together until well blended.
- Then add flour, the chocolate mixture, and a pinch of salt and stir until combined. Pour the mixture into the ramekins, filling each one about halfway.
- Place in the air fryer basket and air fry on 370 degrees Fahrenheit for 8-10 minutes.
- Once done air frying, use a clean thick dish towel to remove ramekins from the air fryer basket. Allow cake to cool in a ramekin for about 1 minute. Use a butter knife to loosen the cake from the ramekin and turn over onto a plate. Serve with fresh whipped cream, fresh berries, or topped with powdered sugar and enjoy.
Notes
Different air fryer brands will cook these at different speeds, hence the 7-10 minute cook time. These should not take longer than 10 minutes to cook.
