First off, we would like to apologize for making it so quick and easy to get warm, gooey chocolate cake into your hands. But, here come our excuses: This five-minute microwave version has only a fraction of the calories in regular lava cake and a third less fat! It\u2019s also gluten-free<\/a> and packs 10 grams of protein into each serving, thanks to a scoop of\u00a0our plant-based protein powder<\/a>. Plus, you\u2019ve heard it before: dark chocolate \u2014 packed with healthy chemicals such as flavonoids and theobromine \u2014 might just have some\u00a0health benefits. So go ahead, have your cake, and eat it, too. This individually portioned molten lava cake recipe is happiness in a\u00a0ramekin (or mug!).<\/p>\n

Whisk the flour mixture into the chocolate mixture until combined. Divide batter evenly between 4 (6-ounce) ramekins or mugs. Press 1 chocolate piece into the center of each cake.<\/li>\n

    Pro tip<\/b><\/h3>\n

    This recipe was developed in a full-size, 1200-watt microwave. If you’re using a compact microwave with 800 watts or fewer, increase the cooking time up to 85 seconds.<\/p>\n
