1
Prepare the Ramekins
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and grease four ramekins with butter. Dust the insides with cocoa powder to prevent sticking.
2
Melt Chocolate and Butter
In a heatproof bowl, combine the dark chocolate and unsalted butter. Melt over a double boiler or microwave in short bursts until smooth. Allow to cool slightly.
3
Mix Sugar and Eggs
In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar and eggs until pale and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and gently mix.
4
Combine Mixtures
Slowly pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, stirring gently to combine.
5
Add Dry Ingredients
Sift in the flour and salt, and fold gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6
Fill Ramekins
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling each about 3/4 full.
7
Bake
Place the ramekins on a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center remains soft.
8
Serve
Remove from the oven, let sit for 1 minute, then invert onto plates. Serve immediately while warm.
