- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease a small cake pan or individual ramekins for a more personalized presentation.

- Combine Dry Ingredients: Stir in two tablespoons of unsweetened cacao powder, one teaspoon of baking powder, half a teaspoon of baking soda, a pinch of salt, half a cup of oat flour, and half a cup of almond flour. Mix until just combined, ensuring not to overmix.
- Prepare Lava: For the chocolate lava, melt one-third cup of chocolate with one tablespoon of coconut oil and two tablespoons of honey. Use a microwave for two intervals of 30 seconds, stirring in between until smooth.
- Assemble Cake: Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan. Spoon the melted chocolate mixture into the center of the batter.
- Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. The center should be slightly gooey.
- Serve: Allow the cake to cool slightly before serving. Pour additional warm chocolate lava over the top if desired.
