Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F). Lightly grease four ramekins (6-ounce size) with butter or gluten-free non-stick spray. If desired, dust the inside of each ramekin with a little cocoa powder for extra non-stick assurance.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the gluten-free dark chocolate and unsalted butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until both are fully melted and smooth. Alternatively, melt them using a double boiler on the stovetop.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, eggs, and egg yolks until the mixture is light and slightly frothy, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Gradually pour the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to combine well.
Sift the gluten-free all-purpose flour into the batter and gently fold it in using a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Divide the batter equally among the prepared ramekins. Place the ramekins on a baking tray for easy handling.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft. The tops should look slightly firm but have a slight wobble when gently shaken.
Remove the ramekins from the oven and let them cool for 1 minute. Run a sharp knife around the edge of each cake to loosen it, then invert each ramekin onto a serving plate and carefully lift it off.
Serve the molten lava cakes immediately, optionally with a dusting of powdered sugar, fresh berries, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired. Enjoy the gooey chocolate center!
