Course Dessert
Servings 2 servings

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup dairy-free chocolate chips
  • 3 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • ¼ cup tapioca starch
  • ¼ cup coconut sugar
  • ¼ cup raw cacao powder or unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ cup full-fat coconut milk or almond milk
  • ¼ cup coconut nectar or maple syrup
  • ½ teaspoon white vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease 2 ramekins with coconut oil or cooking spray and set on a baking sheet.
  • In a small saucepan, mix the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Cook over medium heat until melted, about 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently (watch carefully to make sure the mixture doesn’t burn). Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut milk or almond milk and white vinegar. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl or stand-mixer, mix the almond flour, tapioca starch, coconut sugar, raw cacao powder or cocoa powder, baking powder, and sea salt. Stir to blend.
  • To the bowl with the milk and vinegar mixture, add the melted chocolate mixture and whisk.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the flour mixture and beat until a batter is formed. Divide the batter evenly between the ramekins, filling them each to the top.
  • Bake for 15 to 18 minutes until a crust as formed on the top and is still slightly soft to the touch. Allow the cakes to cool slightly (about 5 minutes). Serve warm.
