1
Prepare the Oven
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and grease four ramekins with butter and dust with flour.
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 Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, flour, eggs, egg yolks, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
4
Combine Mixtures
Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
5
Fill Ramekins
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling each about 2/3 full.
6
Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are firm but the center is still soft.
7
Cool and Serve
Let the lava cakes cool for 1 minute before inverting onto plates. Serve immediately, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
