Cake Ingredients
Method
Cooking Directions
Melt Chocolate and Butter
In a heatproof bowl, combine the dark chocolate and unsalted butter. Melt them together over a double boiler or in the microwave, stirring until smooth.
Mix Sugar and Eggs
In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and eggs until the mixture is pale and fluffy.
Combine Mixtures
Gradually add the melted chocolate mixture to the egg mixture, stirring continuously. Add the vanilla extract and salt, followed by the flour, and mix until just combined.
Pour into Ramekins
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling them about 3/4 full.
Bake
Bake the cakes in the preheated oven for about 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are firm but the center is soft.
Serve
Let the cakes cool for 1 minute, then invert them onto plates. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and drizzle with rich chocolate ganache.
