Gluten Free Chocolate Lava Cakes
These lava cakes are amazing! They are completely made from scratch and when you dig into them they have a rush of chocolaty goodness that just oozes out. In order to make these gluten free I used Enjoy Life chocolate chunks and King Arthur Gluten Free flour. If you aren’t eating gluten free you can substitute chopped chocolate and 2 Tablespoons of regular flour when baking.Using bakers sugar, it’s also known as super fine sugar, will give you a smoother cake. You can use regular sugar but you will have a grainier end product. I suggest investing in bakers’ sugar if you do a lot of baking. It will come in handy if you want super smooth finished products or if you ever make crème-brulee.

Using an electric mixer combine the eggs, egg yolks and sugar until slightly thickened. Then add the flour.

Divide the mixture between 2 or 3 ramekins.
Place the ramekins on a baking sheet. Bake for 11-13 minutes or until the edges are set but the center is still shiny and moves slightly.
Remove from the oven, and after running a small knife around the edges invert onto a plate.
Sprinkle with powdered sugar and enjoy!
