Method

Preparing the Cake

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease four ramekins with butter or cooking spray and lightly dust with cocoa powder.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

  3. 3

    Melt Butter

    In a saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

  4. 4

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and vanilla extract. Gradually add the melted butter, mixing continuously.

  5. 5

    Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

  6. 6

    Fill Ramekins

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

  7. 7

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are firm but the center is still soft.

  8. 8

    Cool Slightly

    Remove the ramekins from the oven and let them cool for 1-2 minutes.
