Ingredients

• 200 grams Dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
• 150 grams Unsalted butter
• 150 grams Granulated sugar
• 50 grams All-purpose flour
• 4 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon Butter (for greasing molds)
• 1 teaspoon Cocoa powder (for dusting molds)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Grease six 6-oz ramekins with butter and dust them lightly with cocoa powder. Tap out any excess cocoa powder and set the ramekins aside.

Step 3

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate and butter. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until completely melted and smooth. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.

Step 4

In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until pale and slightly thickened, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 5

Gradually pour the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly until fully incorporated.

Step 6

Sift the all-purpose flour into the batter and gently fold it in using a spatula, being careful not to overmix.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 11-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft and jiggly. Be careful not to overbake—the molten center is the key to this dessert!

Step 9

Remove the ramekins from the oven and let them cool for 2-3 minutes. Run a knife along the edge of each ramekin to loosen the cake if desired.

Step 10

Serve warm, directly in the ramekins or inverted onto plates for a more dramatic presentation. Optionally, garnish with powdered sugar, whipped cream, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
