Preparation

Baking Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease four ramekins with butter and dust with cocoa powder.

2. Melt Chocolate and Butter

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

3. Whisk Eggs and Sugar

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, and granulated sugar until thick and pale.

4. Combine Mixtures

Slowly add the melted chocolate mixture to the egg mixture, stirring constantly. Add the salt, vanilla extract, and flour. Mix until just combined.

5. Fill Ramekins

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins. Place them on a baking sheet for easy transfer.

6. Bake the Cakes

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

7. Serve

Let the cakes cool for 1 minute, then invert onto plates. Serve immediately with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
