Baking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ramekins

    Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Grease 4 ramekins with butter and dust with cocoa powder.

  2. 2

    Melt Chocolate and Butter

    In a double boiler, melt the dark chocolate and unsalted butter together until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

  3. 3

    Mix Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, flour, eggs, egg yolks, vanilla extract, and salt. Gradually add the melted chocolate mixture and mix until well combined.

  4. 4

    Fill Ramekins

    Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins.

  5. 5

    Bake

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

  6. 6

    Serve

    Let the cakes cool for 1 minute, then invert onto plates. Serve warm with chocolate sauce and a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
