Ingredients
- 5 ounces Dark Chocolate
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
- 2 Eggs
- 2 Egg Yolks
- ¼ teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 3 tablespoons Granulated Sugar
- 2 tablespoons All Purpose Flour
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F. Butter and flour four 4 oz ramekins. Set aside.
- Over a double boiler, melt together your butter and chocolate, whisking together until smooth.
- While the chocolate and butter is melting, in a large clean bowl using a hand mixer (or using the whisk attachment for a stand mixer), beat the eggs, egg yolks, vanilla, and sugar together on high until very light and ribbony.
- Add the flour and chocolate mixture to the eggs. Using a rubber spatula, carefully fold together until the entire batter is one homogeneous chocolate color.
- Distribute evenly to your 4 prepared ramekins and place on a baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven for 10-12 minutes. Be careful not to over bake.
- Take the cakes out of the oven when they are done and let them sit for 1 minute before turning them out onto a plate. Be careful not to burn yourself.
- Dust them with powdered sugar, serve them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and dig in. Enjoy!
