Method
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Grease four 6-ounce ramekins with unsalted butter and dust with flour.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter and chocolate chips. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, whisking continuously until smooth.
- Gently fold in the flour and a pinch of salt until just combined.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling each about 3/4 full.
- Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake for 12-14 minutes, until the edges are firm but the center is soft.
- Let the cakes cool for 1 minute, then run a knife around the edges and invert onto serving plates.
- Dust with powdered sugar and serve immediately, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Notes
Serve warm for the best molten effect. Experiment with different chocolate types and flavors for unique variations.
