Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (plus extra for greasing)
• 100 grams Bittersweet or semisweet chocolate (chopped)
• 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Cocoa powder (for greasing ramekins)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

Grease two small ramekins lightly with butter, then dust with cocoa powder to prevent sticking. Shake out any excess powder.

Step 3

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and chopped chocolate together in 20-second bursts, stirring between intervals, until smooth and completely combined. Let it cool slightly.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until light and slightly frothy.

Step 5

Slowly pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture while whisking continuously to prevent scrambling.

Step 6

Gently fold in the all-purpose flour and salt until the batter is just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 7

Divide the batter evenly between the prepared ramekins, filling them about 3/4 full.

Step 8

Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cakes are firm but the centers are still soft and slightly jiggly.

Step 9

Remove the ramekins from the oven and let them rest for 1-2 minutes. Carefully run a knife around the edges of the cakes to loosen them.

Step 10

Invert each ramekin onto a plate and allow the cakes to slide out. Serve immediately, preferably with whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
