Ingredients 

Main Ingredients

  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • 4 oz semi-sweet chocolate chopped
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 egg yolks
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 2 tablespoon all-purpose flour

Instructions 

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease four ramekins and place them on a baking sheet.
  2. Melt the butter and chocolate together in a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler. Stir until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, egg yolks, sugar, and salt until thickened and pale.
  4. Fold the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture. Add the flour and gently fold until combined.
  5. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins.
  6. Bake for 12 minutes, or 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.
