Can you make the Air Fryer Lava Cake ahead of time?

You can prepare the batter in advance and store it covered in the refrigerator. However, it is best to cook the cakes right before serving to achieve that delicious molten center.

What if I don’t have ramekins? Can I use a different type of dish?

Yes, you can use silicon molds or any air fryer-safe baking dish that fits in your air fryer. However, adjust the cooking time as needed depending on the size of the dish.

Can I use other types of chocolate for the Lava Cake?

Absolutely! You can use dark, milk, or even white chocolate, but keep in mind that the taste and texture may vary. Adjust the sugar content accordingly if using sweeter chocolate.

Is it normal for Lava Cake to look undercooked?

Yes, the center should remain slightly undercooked for that gooey texture. Be careful not to overcook; otherwise, the center will harden.

What can I serve with Air Fryer Lava Cake?

Pair your Lava Cake with vanilla ice cream, fresh berries, or whipped cream to balance the richness. A dusting of powdered sugar on top adds a lovely presentation.

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Prepare two 6-ounce ramekins by spraying them with nonstick cooking spray and setting them aside.
In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine the unsalted butter and chocolate pieces.
Melt the mixture in the microwave for 60-90 seconds, stirring every 30 seconds until fully melted and smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg white, large eggs, and granulated sugar until frothy and well combined.
Slowly pour the egg mixture into the melted chocolate mixture, mixing carefully to combine.
Sprinkle the all-purpose flour into the bowl and gently mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared ramekins.
Preheat the air fryer to 370 degrees F, then carefully place the ramekins in the basket and cook for 8-10 minutes.
Keep an eye on the cakes as they cook, looking for popped-up tops with crispy edges.
Let the ramekins cool for a minute, then run a sharp knife around the edges and flip onto a serving plate.

Notes

Watch closely to prevent overcooking. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or fresh berries for a delightful treat.
