Instructions

1

Prepare the Oven

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease four ramekins with butter and dust them with flour.

2

Melt Chocolate and Butter

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the bittersweet chocolate and unsalted butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate and butter are completely melted and combined.

3

Mix Ingredients

Stir in the powdered sugar until well combined. Add the eggs, egg yolks, and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated. Finally, fold in the flour and a pinch of salt until just combined.

4

Pour Batter

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins.

5

Bake

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

6

Serve

Let the cakes cool for 1 minute, then carefully invert them onto plates. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
