Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and arrange the oven rack to the center position.

Melt the unsweetened baker's chocolate and unsalted butter together in a medium microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until completely melted and smooth.

In another bowl, whisk together the whole eggs, egg yolk, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Grease two 6-ounce ramekins with butter or cooking spray, making sure to grease them thoroughly.

Step 8

Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared ramekins.

Step 9

Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 11-12 minutes or until the tops are firm but the center remains soft.

Remove from oven and let the cakes cool in the ramekins for 1 minute.
