Indulging in a warm, gooey chocolate lava cake has never been easier thanks to the air fryer. This delightful treat can be whipped up in a matter of minutes, making it the perfect choice for a last-minute dessert.

To begin, gather your ingredients: good-quality dark chocolate, unsalted butter, sugar, eggs, flour, and a pinch of salt. Melt the chocolate and butter together until smooth, then whisk in the sugar and eggs until well combined. Gently fold in the flour and salt to create a luscious batter.

Pour the mixture into greased ramekins, leaving a little space for the cake to rise. Pop them into the air fryer for about 8 to 10 minutes at 180°C, and watch as they puff up beautifully. The result? A perfectly baked exterior with a molten centre that oozes chocolate with every spoonful. Serve them warm with a dusting of icing sugar or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the ultimate indulgence. Enjoy the magic of air frying—you’ll never want to bake them any other way!
