Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease four ramekins and place them on a baking sheet.

Melt the Chocolate and Butter
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate and unsalted butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.

Mix the Batter
In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, eggs, egg yolk, and vanilla extract until well combined. Slowly add the melted chocolate mixture, mixing until smooth. Gently fold in the all-purpose flour and salt until just combined.

Bake the Cakes
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are firm but the center is still soft. Remove from the oven and let them sit for 1 minute.
