Chocolate Lava Cake

Method

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease 4 ramekins with butter and dust with cocoa powder.
2. In a double boiler or microwave, melt the dark chocolate and butter together, stirring until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, and sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Gradually add the melted chocolate mixture to the eggs, whisking constantly to combine.
5. Gently fold in the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and vanilla extract until just combined.
6. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins.
7. Bake for 12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are soft. Do not overbake!
8. Let the cakes cool for 1 minute, then gently run a knife around the edges to loosen. Invert onto plates and serve immediately.
