Ingredients

• 115 g Unsalted butter
• 170 g Bittersweet chocolate (70% cacao or higher), chopped
• 100 g Granulated sugar
• 3 Large eggs
• 3 Egg yolks
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 50 g All-purpose flour
• 1 tbsp Unsweetened cocoa powder (for dusting ramekins)
• 1 tbsp Butter (for greasing ramekins)
• 1 tbsp Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
• 100 g Fresh berries (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F). Grease six individual ramekins with butter and dust them lightly with unsweetened cocoa powder. Tap out the excess cocoa powder.

Step 2

In a heatproof bowl, combine the chopped bittersweet chocolate and butter. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler setup) and stir gently until the mixture is completely melted and smooth. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a separate large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, eggs, and egg yolks. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed, beat the mixture until it becomes pale and thick, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Slowly pour the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the egg mixture, gently folding with a spatula until fully combined. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling them about three-quarters full. Place the ramekins on a baking sheet for easier handling.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cakes are set but the centers are still soft. The tops should puff up slightly and may have small cracks.

Step 8

Remove the ramekins from the oven and let them cool for 1-2 minutes. Run a knife around the edges of each cake to loosen them, then carefully invert each ramekin onto a serving plate. Tap gently to release the cake.

Step 9

Dust the tops of the cakes with powdered sugar and serve immediately with fresh berries or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
