Melt Butter and Chocolate
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the unsalted butter and semi-sweet chocolate. Microwave on medium power for about 1-2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until completely melted and smooth.
- 3
Mix Eggs and Sugar
In a separate bowl, whisk together the large eggs, large egg yolks, and granulated sugar until the mixture is pale and slightly thickened.
- 4
Combine Mixtures
Slowly pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture while whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from scrambling. Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
- 5
Add Flour
Gently fold in the all-purpose flour until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- 6
Fill Ramekins
Evenly distribute the batter into the prepared ramekins, filling each about 2/3 full.
- 7
Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are firm but the center is still soft. The tops should look set.
- 8
Cool Slightly
Remove the ramekins from the oven and let them cool for about 1 minute. Carefully run a knife around the edges to loosen the cakes.
