Ingredients
  

  • 100 g unsalted butter
  • 100 g dark chocolate
  • 2 whole large eggs
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 100 g sugar
  • 100 g all-purpose flour
  • salt

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • In a double boiler, over simmering water, melt the butter with the dark chocolate. In a medium bowl, beat the eggs with the egg yolks, sugar and salt at high speed until thickened and pale.
  • Sift the flour into this mixture and gently stir to combine into a batter.
  • Transfer the batter to a resealable plastic bag. Snip one corner of the bag with scissors to create an opening.
  • Arrange the ramekins in a casserole dish.
  • Generously coat the inside of the ramekins with melted butter and pipe the batter into them.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 8-9 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and let them sit for 2-5 minutes to allow them to cool slightly.
  • Loosen the edges from the ramekin with a knife. Invert each cake onto a plate and dust with powdered sugar. Enjoy with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
