Macro Overview Keto Chocolate Lava Cake

In the below table you can find an estimate of the number of carbs, protein, and fat in this Keto Chocolate Lava Cake recipe. When you add this to your keto app, you can better calculate your macros and plan your keto meals.

From this recipe, I made 11 small lava cakes. Some in Christmas molds, others in cupcake molds. Therefore on average, you can make about 10 small cakes or 8 bigger ones.

 

Based on, 10 cakes, each Keto Chocolate Lava Cake contains 3.5 grams of carbs, 4.4 grams of protein, and 17.6 grams of fat.

Step by Step Instructions

Below you can find the steps to make this gooey Keto Chocolate Lava dessert.

1. Melt the butter and the chocolate

Firstly, preheat the oven to 175 degrees Celsius or 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

 

Then, grease the silicone cake molds or ramekins with butter.

Silicone molds

Melt the butter and the dark 85% chocolate in the microwave or a small saucepan. Stir to combine.

Add the (fine) almond flour and the powdered erythritol. Mix everything well with a spoon or fork.

Combine the almond flour and erythritol with the chocolate

2. Beat the eggs

Next, beat the eggs with a hand mixer or a whisk.

3. Combine the chocolate-almond mixture with the eggs

Add the chocolate-almond mixture to the beaten eggs. Stir it well. The batter should now become a bit thicker, but still pourable. If you think it is too thin, you can add a bit more almond flour.

Then, pour the Keto Lava Cake batter into the cake pans, just a bit under the edge. They won’t grow too much.

Mix the batter with the eggs

4. Bake the Keto Chocolate Lava Cake in the oven

If you use small cake molds, like I did, then bake the lava cakes for 7 minutes in the preheated oven.

 

However, if you use bigger ramekins, then bake them for 9 minutes.

 

The top of the cake should be set, but is still jiggly. Ensure to not bake them for too long, otherwise, you will not get the lava effect.

 

Once they are out of the oven, they will set a bit more.

5. Dust the lava cakes with powdered erythritol

The Keto Chocolate Lava Cake should cool down for 1 or 2 minutes before you can safely remove it from its mold.

 

Turn the cakes out on a plate and dust them with some powdered erythritol. 

 

Decorate this quick keto dessert with fresh raspberries.
