Tips:

  • For a richer, more decadent lava cake, use dark chocolate with a cocoa content of 70% or higher.
  • Make sure your butter and chocolate are melted and smooth before adding them to the other ingredients.
  • Do not overmix the batter, as this can result in a tough cake.
  • Use ramekins that are at least 4 ounces in capacity, as smaller ramekins will not hold enough batter.
  • Preheat your air fryer to the correct temperature before cooking the lava cakes.
  • Do not overcook the lava cakes, as this will cause the centers to become dry and crumbly.
  • Serve the lava cakes immediately after they are cooked, while the centers are still molten.
  • Top the lava cakes with powdered sugar, whipped cream, or fresh berries for an extra special touch.
