Using the air fryer rack, place the ramekins in the air fryer oven. Select the air fry function and bake at 350F for 8 minutes
Carefully remove the cakes from the air fryer and let cool for 5 minutes
Slowly run a knife around the outside to make sure the cakes aren't sticking
Place the serving dish on the top of the cake and flip each one over.
Sprinkle powdered sugar and add some chopped dark chocolate and enjoy.

Notes

For a gooey molten center, bake just until the edges are set and the center still jiggles slightly.
Every air fryer runs differently — start checking at 7 minutes if yours runs hot.
Overbaking by even 1 minute can fully set the center.
