Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ramekins

    Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and grease four ramekins with butter. Dust with flour to prevent the cakes from sticking.

  2. 2

    Melt Chocolate and Butter

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

  3. 3

    Mix the Batter

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until combined. Gradually stir in the melted chocolate mixture. Fold in the flour and salt until just combined.

  4. 4

    Fill the Ramekins

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

  5. 5

    Bake

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

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool for 1 minute. Carefully invert each ramekin onto a plate and serve immediately, optionally with ice cream or whipped cream.
