Ingredients

• 200 grams dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
• 115 grams unsalted butter
• 50 grams all-purpose flour
• 150 grams powdered sugar
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 2 pieces egg yolks
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 as needed butter or non-stick spray (for greasing ramekins)
• 1 as needed unsweetened cocoa powder (for dusting ramekins)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F).

Step 2

Grease four 6-ounce ramekins with butter or non-stick spray and dust the insides with unsweetened cocoa powder. Tap out the excess cocoa powder and set the ramekins aside.

Step 3

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate and unsalted butter. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until completely melted and smooth. Let cool slightly.

Step 4

In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 5

Add the powdered sugar to the egg mixture and whisk until smooth.

Step 6

Gradually add the melted chocolate mixture to the egg mixture, whisking constantly to combine.

Step 7

Sift in the all-purpose flour and salt, and gently fold into the batter until no lumps remain.

Step 8

Evenly divide the batter among the prepared ramekins, filling each about ¾ full.

Step 9

Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft and slightly jiggly.

Step 10

Remove the ramekins from the oven and let them cool for 1 minute.

Step 11

Run a knife along the edges of each ramekin to loosen the cakes, then carefully invert them onto serving plates.

Step 12

Serve immediately, optionally with a dusting of powdered sugar, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or a spoonful of whipped cream.
