Ingredients:

• 4 oz 113g semi-sweet chocolate
• 1/2 cup 1 stick unsalted butter
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 egg yolks
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• Non-stick cooking spray

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 425F 220C

Grease four ramekins with non-stick cooking spray and dust them with cocoa powder

Place them on a baking sheet

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate and butter together in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth

Let it cool slightly

In a separate bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, eggs, egg yolks, and vanilla extract until well combined

Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture and whisk until smooth

Sift in the all-purpose flour and salt, then gently fold it into the chocolate mixture until just combined

Divide the batter equally among the prepared ramekins

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly jiggly

Remove the molten chocolate cakes from the oven and let them cool for a minute

Carefully run a knife around the edge of each ramekin to loosen the cakes

Invert the cakes onto serving plates

Serve immediately while the centers are still gooey and molten

You can dust with powdered sugar or top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired
