Cake Ingredients

Method

Instructions

1

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This ensures even baking of the cakes.

2

Melt Chocolate and Butter

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate and unsalted butter. Heat in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.

3

Mix Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, flour, and salt until combined.

4

Combine Mixtures

Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the dry ingredient bowl. Add the eggs, egg yolks, and vanilla extract. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.

5

Prepare Ramekins

Grease four ramekins with butter and dust lightly with flour, tapping out the excess. This ensures easy release after baking.

6

Fill Ramekins

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling each about 2/3rds full.

7

Bake

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

8

Cool and Serve

Let the cakes cool in the ramekins for 1 minute, then carefully invert onto plates. Serve warm for the molten center effect.
