Preheat your oven to 375°F and lightly grease a standard 6-ounce ceramic ramekin with the coconut oil.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the liquid egg whites, nonfat Greek yogurt, and pure maple syrup until the mixture is completely smooth.
Add the chocolate whey protein powder, almond flour, unsweetened cacao powder, baking powder, and sea salt to the bowl.
Stir the mixture gently with a spatula until just combined, ensuring there are no large dry clumps of protein powder remaining.
Pour approximately two-thirds of the chocolate batter into the prepared ramekin.
Place the 70% dark chocolate piece directly in the center of the batter and cover it with the remaining batter.
Bake for 13 to 15 minutes until the edges are firm and set, but the center remains slightly soft to the touch.
Remove from the oven and let the cake rest for 2 minutes to allow the molten center to stabilize before serving warm.
