Chocolate Lava Cakes

One more recipe from Nutritious and Delicious, by Maria Emmerich, so that I can wrap up that chapter in my kitchen! I really enjoyed these cakes.

6 oz. bittersweet chocolate, divided
¼ cup vanilla almond milk
1 stick lactose-free butter
2 eggs
2 eggs yolks
1/3 cup erythritol
½ tsp. stevia glycerite
½ tsp. vanilla
¼ cup peanut flour

To make the centers, melt 2 ounces of chocolate and the vanilla almond milk in a double boiler. Whisk gently to blend. Refrigerate about 2 hours or until firm. Form into 6 balls; refrigerate until needed.

To make the cakes, preheat the oven to 400 °F. Spray six 4-ounce ramekins with cooking spray. Melt 4 ounces of chocolate and butter in a double boiler; whisk gently to blend. With an electric mixer, whisk eggs, yolks, sweeteners, and vanilla on high speed about 5 minutes or until thick and light. Fold melted chocolate mixture and peanut flour into egg mixture until just combined. Spoon cake batter into ramekins. Place a chocolate ball in the middle of each ramekin. Bake about 15 minutes or until cake is firm to the touch. Let sit out of the oven for about 5 minutes. Run a small, sharp knife around inside of each ramekin, place a plate on top, invert, and remove ramekin.
