Cake Preparation

1. Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Grease four ramekins with butter and dust them with flour to prevent sticking.

2. Melt Chocolate and Butter

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

3. Mix Sugar and Eggs

In another mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, large eggs, and egg yolks until the mixture is pale and slightly thickened.

4. Combine Mixtures

Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture. Add vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Stir until well combined.

5. Add Flour

Sift in the all-purpose flour and gently fold it into the chocolate mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

6. Fill Ramekins

Evenly distribute the batter among the prepared ramekins, filling each about 3/4 full.

7. Bake the Cakes

Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are firm but the center is still soft.

8. Cool Slightly

Remove the ramekins from the oven and let them cool for 1-2 minutes. Carefully run a knife around the edges to loosen the cakes.

9. Invert and Serve

Invert each ramekin onto a plate and gently lift it off. Serve immediately with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a sprinkle of chocolate shavings on top.
