Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients:
  • - 1 cup bittersweet chocolate chopped
  • - 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • - 1 cup powdered sugar
  • - 2 large eggs
  • - 2 large egg yolks
  • - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • - 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • - Pinch of salt
  • - Butter and flour for greasing ramekins

Instructions
 

  • Cooking Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Prepare four ramekins by greasing them with butter and dusting with flour to prevent sticking.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chopped chocolate and unsalted butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the mixture is completely melted and smooth.
  • Stir in the powdered sugar until well combined, then add the eggs and egg yolks. Mix until the batter is smooth and glossy.
  • Add the vanilla extract, flour, and a pinch of salt. Gently fold the ingredients until just combined; be careful not to overmix.
  • Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins. Place them on a baking sheet for easier handling and bake for 12-14 minutes, until the edges are firm but the center is still soft.
  • Remove from the oven and let them cool for 1 minute. Carefully invert each ramekin onto a plate to release the cake. Serve immediately, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or fresh berries.
  • Extra Tips:
  • For the best results, verify that your chocolate and butter are melted together smoothly without any lumps. If you want to prepare the batter in advance, you can refrigerate it for up to a day; just remember to bring it back to room temperature before baking.
  • Additionally, experimenting with different types of chocolate can create unique flavor profiles—try dark, milk, or even white chocolate for a different twist on this classic dessert!
