Cake Ingredients

Method

Baking Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease four ramekins with butter and dust with flour, tapping out the excess.

  2. 2

    Melt Chocolate and Butter

    In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate and unsalted butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until completely melted and smooth.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Stir in the powdered sugar until well combined. Add the eggs, egg yolks, and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth. Finally, fold in the flour and a pinch of salt until just combined.

  4. 4

    Fill Ramekins

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

  5. 5

    Bake

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

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool for 1 minute. Carefully invert each ramekin onto a plate, allowing the cake to slide out. Serve warm, optionally with ice cream or whipped cream.
