Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and grease four ramekins with butter.

  2. 2

    Melt Chocolate and Butter

    In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate and unsalted butter. Heat in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth.

  3. 3

    Mix Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, flour, eggs, egg yolks, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.

  4. 4

    Combine and Pour

    Slowly pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, stirring until fully incorporated. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins.

  5. 5

    Bake

    Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are firm but the center is soft.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool for 1 minute. Invert each ramekin onto a plate, allowing the cake to fall out. Serve immediately, optionally with ice cream or whipped cream.
