All of us love this gluten free chocolate lava cake recipe! It’s usually gone within about 10 minutes after it’s made because the kids love it so much. You can serve it with whipped cream or ice cream on top. There’s no need for chocolate sauce since it makes its own!

This is sometimes called molten lava cake or hot fudge cake. I usually make it in a square casserole dish, but you can also make it in a single serving mug or as a crockpot lava cake!

The mixture of rich tasty cake with the yummy decadent fudge sauce makes it the perfect sweet treat when you’re having a chocolate attack!

This chocolate lava cake is so easy to make that our older kids sometimes make their own. It’s easy to adapt if you want to make it in a mug in the microwave or a crockpot!
