# What You'll Need:
→ Chocolate Mixture
01 - 4.25 oz bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, roughly chopped
02 - 7 tbsp unsalted butter, plus extra for greasing
→ Batter
03 - 2 large eggs
04 - 2 large egg yolks
05 - scant 1/2 cup granulated sugar
06 - 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
07 - 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
08 - 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
→ For Serving (optional)
09 - Powdered sugar, for dusting

# Directions:
01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Grease six 6-oz ramekins with butter and dust lightly with flour, tapping out excess.
02 - In a heatproof bowl set over simmering water, melt chocolate and butter together, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
03 - Whisk eggs, egg yolks, sugar, and vanilla extract until pale and thick, approximately 2 minutes.
04 - Gently fold melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture until uniform.
05 - Sift flour and salt into the mixture and fold gently until just combined, avoiding overmixing.
06 - Evenly divide batter among prepared ramekins placed on a baking sheet.
07 - Bake for 11 to 13 minutes until edges are set and centers remain soft and slightly jiggly.
08 - Rest cakes for 1 minute. Run a knife around edges, invert onto plates, dust with powdered sugar, and serve immediately with berries or ice cream if desired.
