Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease 6 ramekins with butter and dust with cocoa powder.

  2. 2

    Melt the Butter

    In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the melted butter and whisk until combined. Gradually add the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.

Baking

  1. 5

    Fill Ramekins

    Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling each about 3/4 full.

  2. 6

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are firm but the center is soft.

Serving

  1. 7

    Cool and Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool for 1 minute. Carefully invert each ramekin onto a plate and dust with powdered sugar. Serve immediately with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
