1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it's hot enough to bake the cakes.
2
Melt Chocolate and Butter
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate and unsalted butter. Melt in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring in between until smooth and fully melted.
3
Mix Sugar and Eggs
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, large eggs, and egg yolks until the mixture is pale and slightly thickened.
4
Combine Mixtures
Gradually pour the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the egg mixture, stirring continuously until well combined.
5
Add Dry Ingredients
Sift in the all-purpose flour and add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Gently fold the mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
6
Prepare Ramekins
Grease four ramekins with butter and dust with cocoa powder or flour to prevent sticking. Pour the batter evenly into each ramekin, filling them about 2/3 full.
7
Bake the Cakes
Place the ramekins in the preheated oven and bake for about 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are firm but the center is still soft.
8
Cool and Serve
Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool for 1 minute. Carefully invert each ramekin onto a plate to release the cake. Serve immediately with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.

9
Serve Ice Cream
Scoop two generous scoops of vanilla ice cream and place them on top of the warm chocolate lava cake for a delightful contrast.
