Combine Ingredients
Once melted, remove the bowl from heat. Stir in the granulated sugar until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.

Add Flour
Gently fold in the flour until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.

Fill Ramekins
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling each about 3/4 full.

Bake the Cakes
Place the ramekins on a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes. The edges should be firm, but the center will be soft.

Cool Slightly
Remove the ramekins from the oven and let them cool for 1-2 minutes. This will help the cakes set slightly.
