This quick and easy single serve gluten-free chocolate lava cake may not look too exciting when it first comes out of the air fryer, but be assured there’s lots of yumminess just under the surface! If you don’t have an air fryer this could also be baked in an oven. I love being able to use the air fryer for single serve desserts like this one and not have to heat up the big oven, though. I use an Avalon Bay Air Fryer, it’s simple to use, is reasonably priced, and has great reviews on Amazon. And yes, you could use a microwave in even shorter amount of time, but I haven’t had one for years and I like how the air fryer bakes this cake.
Here we go dipping into the center to get to all that ooey-gooey, chocolatey goodness.
There it is! Chocolatey yumminess!
Just look at that, it’s so satisfying and yummy!
For this blog post, I mixed the cake batter in a different bowl and then poured it into the two-cup glass Pyrex dish, that way the sides would be clean for the pictures, but I normally mix it right in the dish that I’m baking it in.

I am interested, having a new air fryer, in this recipe for lava cake but do I have to use a sweetener? I do keep Splenda but normally use honey or sugar on those occasions when I need sweetening of some kind.
Josephine, you can use the sweetener of your choice. This recipe is on plan with Trim Healthy Mama and that is why I use the sweetener that I do. The honey may change the texture just a bit, but probably just more gooey which is part of the beauty of this recipe.
This looks delicious!
Would adding some collagen or protein powder effects the results?
Adding collagen shouldn’t change the texture. Protein powder may change it, since it’s a single serve you can definitely try it and see how it works without losing to much.
Could almond flour, or coconut flour be used instead of flaxseed meal ?
Hi Krista, I haven’t tried either of those flours in this recipe yet. I know coconut flour is a much thirstier flour so it may change the texture of the finished cake. If you try either of them I’d love to know how they turned out.
Almond flour and flax meal could be interchangeable with flax meal I think. I’ve used them interchangeably in an MIM
Yum – absolutely delicious! Hubs and I shared and was the perfect amount for a little treat!
