Cake Ingredients

Method

Baking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Oven

    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

  2. 2

    Melt the Chocolate

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

  3. 3

    Mix Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined. Slowly add the melted chocolate mixture to the egg mixture, stirring constantly.

  4. 4

    Add Dry Ingredients

    Sift in the all-purpose flour and salt, and gently fold until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Ramekins

    Grease four ramekins with butter and dust with cocoa powder, shaking out any excess.

  6. 6

    Fill and Bake

    Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins. Place them on a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still soft.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Let the cakes cool for 1 minute, then carefully invert onto plates. Serve immediately with ice cream or whipped cream if desired.
