1
Prepare the Oven and Ramekins
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease four ramekins with butter and dust them with flour to prevent sticking.
2
Melt the Chocolate and Butter
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter and semisweet chocolate. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth.
3
Mix the Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, eggs, egg yolks, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined. Gradually add the melted chocolate mixture and mix until smooth. Gently fold in the flour until just combined.
4
Fill the Ramekins
Evenly distribute the batter into the prepared ramekins, filling each about 3/4 full.
5
Bake the Cakes
Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly soft.
6
Serve
Remove the ramekins from the oven and let them cool for 1 minute. Carefully run a knife around the edges and invert onto plates. Serve immediately with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
