PIN Easy Strawberry Gluten Free Chocolate Lava Cakes for Two
It’s an EXPLOSION of ooey-gooey fruity and RICH chocolate up in here today.
Real life talk: why is that not how EVERY SINGLE MONDAY of life EVER starts? Pretty sure that Monday would read a 20 on the 1-10 scale of least favorite to most favorite days of the week then.
Friday? In the presence of melty chocolate strawberry bliss, that day would be SO 2017.
These little molten chocolate lava cakes are basically everything that your inner chocolate covered soul could want out of life. They’re:
- Gluten, grain and dairy free.
- Nixing some of the coconut oil for lower fat applesauce.
- Dense and RICH and deep on the outside with MELTY CHOCOLATE LAVA ON THE INSIDE.
- SWIMMING with chocolate strawberry YUMMINESS.
Like I said: everything your hopes and dreams are made of.
Considering we have had a paleo chocolate lava cake recipe and low carb peanut butter chocolate lava cake recipe It’s no secret that I am a <3<3<3er of gluten free molten lava cake. They are the best of both worlds: chocolate cake and chocolate cake BATTER. You can even be crazy and make paleo PUMPKIN lava cakes!

The inside is indeed baked. But it’s got that FEELING of eating the cake batter STRAIGHT from the bowl. Just like Momma used to tell you NOT to do.
Except now you’re an adult, you can do WHAT YOU WANT. <– Eating paleo chocolate chip cookie dough, or any kind of dessert batter, is literally the only reason why I feel adulting is WORTH IT.
The beauty of these lava cakes is that they feel like a VRY VRY fancy dessert except you can ACTUALLY make them in your real person-dessert-eating-life. AND IN ONLY 20 MINUTES.
From idea –> Bake –> EAT in almost NO TIME, internet friends. This is the magic of desserts that:
- Require you to under-bake them.
- REQUIRE you to eat them basically as soon as they come out of the oven.

Easy Strawberry Gluten Free Chocolate Lava Cakes for Two
Ingredients
- 3 Oz Dairy Free Dark Chocolate, I used 72% Cocoa
- 1 Tbsp Coconut oil + additional for the ramekins
- 1 Large egg
- 1 Egg yolk
- 1/4 Cup Coconut sugar
- 3 Tbsp Unsweetened applesauce
- 1/4 tsp Vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 2 Tbsp Cocoa powder + additional for the ramekins
- 4 tsp Organic Strawberry fruit spread
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Rub 2 Ramekins with coconut oil and sprinkle with cocoa powder so that the inside is fully covered. Set aside.
- In a large, microwave-safe bowl, melt the coconut oil and chocolate in the microwave using half power and microwaving for 30 seconds at a time. Stir after 30 seconds and repeat until the chocolate is smooth and melted.
- While the chocolate melts, beat together the egg, egg yolk, coconut sugar, applesauce, vanilla extract and salt, using an electric hand mixer, until the the mixture lightens in color and the coconut sugar begins to break down, about 2 minutes.
- Pour the egg mixture into the chocolate/oil mixture, whisk by hand constantly until everything is well mixed and the chocolate begins to thicken. Gently fold in the cocoa powder and whisk until well incorporated.
- Divide the batter between the ramekins, filling just over half way up. Place 2 tsp of the fruit spread in the center of each ramekin and gently divide the remaining batter, so that the ramekins are just over 3/4 of the way full.
- Place in the preheated over and bake until the outside is set, but the center looks a slightly soft and under-cooked, about 10 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let stand one minute. Then, gently run a knife along the outside of the ramekin and place a place upside down on top. Gently turn the plate/ramekin over and the cake will slide right out.
- DEVOUR immediately!

This is gorgeous. And I love the strawberry centers, rather than the usual all-chocolate!

Dan says
Hi Taylor, its Dan again.
Would you mind comverting this recipe for use in a standard oven, not a microwave as I wrote to you just a few minutes ago.
Thank you
Dan
Taylor Kiser says
Hi Dan!
I hope you understand that I already spend 80+ hours a week creating recipes and working on the blog, and don’t have time to adapt them all. I am sure you could try cooking this mug cake in the oven at 350 degrees, I just can’t tell you for how long. I would recommend to just watch it and test it every so often until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. I hope that helps!
Natalie says
Can any of this be made beforehand? Maybe a day or two in advance?
Taylor Kiser says
Unfortunately, no – you have to bake and eat right away to get the lava effect. Sorry!
