1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2
Prepare Ramekins
Grease four 6-ounce ramekins with butter and dust with flour, tapping out excess flour.
3
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 melted and smooth.
4
Mix Sugar and Eggs
In a separate bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, eggs, egg yolk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
5
Combine Mixtures
Gradually add the melted chocolate mixture to the egg mixture, stirring gently until fully incorporated.
6
Add Flour
Sift the all-purpose flour into the mixture and fold gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
7
Fill Ramekins
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling each about 3/4 full.
8
Bake
Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are firm but the center is still soft.
9
Cool Slightly
Remove from the oven and let cool for 1 minute before inverting each ramekin onto a plate.

10
Add Ice Cream
Top each lava cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream while the cake is still warm.
11
Serve Immediately
Serve immediately and enjoy the gooey center of the lava cake alongside the cold ice cream.
