Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup gluten-free flour (King Arthur)
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 6 tablespoons sour cream
  • 6 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 6 tablespoons cream or 6 tablespoons milk
  • 1 dash vanilla
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 6 -8 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)

Method

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray 4 medium ramekins with cooking spray; set aside. If microwaving, spray mugs with cooking spray.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, and salt until no streaks remain.
  • Add in sour cream and 6 tablespoons of vegetable oil, and mix with a spoon until a thick paste forms.
  • Mix in cream and vanilla until completely combined.
  • Whisk in your remaining 1/4 cup of vegetable oil until thoroughly combined.
  • Fold in chocolate chips.
  • Scoop an equal amount of batter into each ramekin, using about 1/3 of cup for each cake.
  • Bake for 17-20 minutes for a lava cake, or 23-26 minutes for a fully cooked cake. If microwaving, cook for 2-4 minutes in mugs.
  • Allow to cool for 5 minutes, and turn the cakes out onto a plate or platter.
  • Serve warm with a dusting of powdered sugar, and a scoop of ice cream. Enjoy!
