Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease four ramekins with butter and dust with cocoa powder.

  2. 2

    Melt the chocolate and butter

    In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and chocolate together in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.

  3. 3

    Mix the batter

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract. Gradually add the melted chocolate mixture, mixing until combined. Sift in the dry ingredients and fold gently.

  4. 4

    Fill the ramekins

    Pour the batter into the prepared ramekins, filling each about 3/4 full.

  5. 5

    Bake

    Bake for 12-14 minutes, until the edges are firm but the center is still soft.

  6. 6

    Cool and serve

    Let the cakes cool for 1 minute, then invert onto plates. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
