1. Prepare the Oven
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Prepare the Chocolate Mixture
Melt Butter and Chocolate: In a medium microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and chopped dark chocolate together in 20-30 second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and completely melted.
Mix in Sugar: Stir in the powdered sugar until well combined and smooth.
3. Prepare the Cake Batter
Add Eggs and Yolks: Add the eggs and egg yolks to the chocolate mixture, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Add Vanilla: Stir in the vanilla extract.
Fold in Flour: Gently fold in the flour and a pinch of salt until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
4. Prepare the Ramekins
Grease Ramekins: Lightly grease 4 ramekins or custard cups with butter or non-stick spray. To ensure the cakes release easily, you can also dust them with a little cocoa powder or flour.
5. Fill and Bake
Fill Ramekins: Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still slightly jiggly. The tops should look firm and slightly cracked.
6. Serve
