Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease four ramekins with butter and dust with flour, tapping out excess.

  2. 2

    Melt Chocolate and Butter

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

  3. 3

    Mix in Sugar and Eggs

    Stir in the powdered sugar until well combined. Add the whole eggs, egg yolks, and vanilla extract, whisking until smooth and combined.

  4. 4

    Add Dry Ingredients

    Gently fold in the all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Baking

  1. 5

    Fill Ramekins

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

  2. 6

    Bake

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

  3. 7

    Cool and Serve

    Let the cakes cool for 1 minute, then carefully invert each ramekin onto a plate. Serve immediately with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, fresh berries, and mint leaves if desired.
