Cake
1/2 cup medjool dates, soaked in warm water for 5-10 minutes, drained and pitted
1/2 cup roasted unsalted hazelnuts
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch sea salt
0 - 1 1/2 tablespoons water
Lava
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch cayenne pepper (optional)

1
Place two cupcake liners in a cupcake tin. Set aside.
2
To make the cake, pulse dates in a food processor until they break down. Add in hazelnuts, cocoa, vanilla, and salt and pulse until a large sticky ball forms. Add water as necessary - you want the mixture to stick together while not sticking to your hands too much.
3
Divide the mixture into four even parts and form a round disk with each. Press one disk into the bottom of each cupcake liner, working the mixture up the sides.
4
Chill in the fridge at least 15 minutes.
5
While the cake is chilling, make the chocolate lava center by stirring together all lava ingredients until smooth and liquidy.
6
Spoon half the lava into each cupcake, making sure the top is spread evenly.
7
Peel away the liners, then take the remaining two disks and gently press one onto the tops of the cupcakes, pressing around the edges to seal the lava in.
8
Microwave 20-45 seconds (optional, but the lava will flow less freely if you choose not to), garnish with sea salt and crushed hazelnuts and serve.
