Ingredients 

Main Ingredients

  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • 4 oz semi-sweet chocolate chopped
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 egg yolks
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour

Instructions 

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease 4 ramekins and place them on a baking sheet.
  2. Melt the butter and chocolate together in a mixing bowl over simmering water or in the microwave. Stir until smooth.
  3. In another bowl, whisk the eggs, egg yolks, sugar, and vanilla extract until thick and pale.
  4. Fold the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture. Then, fold in the flour until just combined.
  5. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are set but the center is still soft.
  7. Let the cakes cool in the ramekins for 1 minute, then run a knife around the edges to loosen and invert onto plates. Serve immediately.
