Air Fryer Chocolate Lava Cake — 12-Minute Dessert

Molten chocolate lava cake in 12 minutes from mixing bowl to table using the air fryer. Cik Farah's recipe has been tested over 40 times to get the timing right — the difference between a lava cake and a brownie is literally 90 seconds of cook time.

• 120g dark chocolate (70% cocoa minimum), 100g unsalted butter, 2 whole eggs + 2 egg yolks, 100g caster sugar, 40g all-purpose flour, pinch of salt. Makes 4 individual lava cakes in 150ml ramekins. The key variable is your specific air fryer — timing calibration is in the recipe.
