Method
Preparation
Making the Cake Batter
Melt Chocolate and Butter
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the unsweetened chocolate and unsalted butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until completely melted and smooth.
Mix Sugar and Eggs
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, whole eggs, egg yolks, and vanilla extract until well combined and slightly thickened.
Combine Mixtures
Slowly pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, stirring constantly to prevent cooking the eggs.
Add Dry Ingredients
Sift in the all-purpose flour and add a pinch of salt. Gently fold the mixture until just combined; do not overmix.
Baking
Pour Batter into Ramekins
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling each about 2/3 full.
Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are firm but the center is still soft.
Cool Slightly
Remove from the oven and let the cakes cool in the ramekins for 1 minute.
