1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease four ramekins with butter and dust with flour to prevent sticking.
2
Melt Chocolate and Butter
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 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 sugar, eggs, egg yolk, vanilla extract, and salt until combined. Gradually add the melted chocolate mixture and stir until smooth. Gently fold in the flour until just combined.
4
Fill Ramekins
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling them about 2/3 full.
5
Bake the Cakes
Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still soft.
6
Cool and Serve
Remove from the oven and let the cakes cool for 1 minute. Carefully invert each ramekin onto a plate and let it sit for a few seconds before removing the ramekin. Serve immediately, optionally with ice cream or whipped cream.
