My life is upside down right now. Moving a family to a new area is a huge task. Not so much the physical moving, but keeping things normal for the kids during the move. Holidays are a big part of normal at my house!
I love making a big deal out of Valentine’s day! I don’t do gifts but we do crafts, themed snacks, and activities. I am doing my best to squeeze those things in right now. My biggest problem is I have already packed a lot of stuff.
I have this great recipe for Molten Lava Cake that is naturally gluten free. I bought these really cute heart shaped pans to bake them in. I went into the kitchen, pulled out all the ingredients, and began to cook. Just to realize….I packed the pans ~thud~.

Well, I can still share the recipe!
Molten Lava Cake
Molten Lava Cake Printable Version
- 4 ounces semisweet or bittersweet chocolate
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 4 tablespoons sugar
- 2 eggs (separated)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Directions
Preheat oven to 375.
Melt chocolate and butter together, over double boiler (or take a pan of boiling water and place a bowl on top to melt them in together..and some might like to use a microwave).
After they have both melted, take off the heat and add 2 tablespoons sugar, beaten egg yolks, and vanilla. Mix together well.
In separate bowl beat egg whites and salt until soft peaks form. Add 2 tablespoons of sugar, beat about 2 minutes longer.
Fold in the egg whites into the chocolate until just combined.
Grease 4 ramekins (6 ounces) and place on baking sheet.
Divide batter between the ramekins and bake for about 22-25 minutes.
Serve Warm.

Total yum and so easy–thanks! All the best to you and your family in preparing for the move and the actual move. You’re a great mom to be working to keep everything as sane as possible during the transition!
Happy Valentine’s Day!

Hey Amanda!
This looks really easy and yummy, but curious as to how the cake is forming without flour? To me the recipe seems to be candy/pudding like…I know there are flour less cake recipes out there (I haven’t tried). Just wanting to be sure that there is NOT flour in the recipe as I want to make and want it to turn out. Thanks.
btw good luck with the move (again) Bet you will miss Publix.
Vickie,
The recipe is correct. This is a flourless cake recipe. It is more like a little souffle, but still tastes great! It is perfect for us since there are several in our house that can’t have wheat.
Thanks for the very FAST reply…I know you are a busy bee!
Can’t wait to make it…might be a a great alternative to flour for me too…I am wondering if I might have gluten issues myself.
Vickie,
It wasn’t something I would have thought of until my kids had problems. I have been gluten free my self for a couple months and feel like a new person! It might be worth trying! The research is very interesting on how many of us are really intolerant. The numbers are huge!
just “found” this recipe and can’t wait to try in on Monday. thanks for posting!
I think I have everything in the kitchen to make these, except the dishes. Might have to get creative!
So, when you cut into it…is the chocolate runny like in the picture? Looks wonderful!! And gluten free makes it even better!
Yummy chocolate heaven! Can’t wait to try it.
Oh yes! Aren’t these sooooo tasty?!? I just love ‘em! We made these here at Vday, too…and we used a regular muffin tin for ours. Works perfectly if you don’t have those ramekins!
