Method

Cake Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

  2. 2

    Melt Chocolate and Butter

    In a medium heatproof bowl, combine the semisweet chocolate and unsalted butter. Melt them together over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method) or in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.

  3. 3

    Mix in Sugar

    Remove the bowl from heat and whisk in the granulated sugar until fully incorporated.

  4. 4

    Add Eggs and Vanilla

    Add the large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.

  5. 5

    Prepare Ramekins

    Grease four 6-ounce ramekins with butter and dust with cocoa powder or flour (if you are not strictly gluten-free).

  6. 6

    Fill Ramekins

    Evenly distribute the batter into the prepared ramekins, filling them about 3/4 full.

  7. 7

    Bake

    Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes, until the edges are firm but the center is soft.

  8. 8

    Cool and Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool for 1-2 minutes. Run a knife around the edges to loosen, then invert each ramekin onto a plate. Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm with vanilla ice cream and fresh berries.
