- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 4 ounces high-quality semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease and lightly flour four ramekins.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and chocolate together in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Allow it to cool slightly.
- Stir in the powdered sugar until well combined.
- Whisk in the eggs, egg yolks, and vanilla extract.
- Fold in the flour and salt until just combined.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
