Ingredients:
- 4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- 2 large eggs
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar

- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C).
- Grease 4-6 ramekins with butter or cooking spray.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chopped chocolate and butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate and butter are melted and smooth.
- In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, granulated sugar, and salt until well combined.
- Add the melted chocolate mixture to the egg mixture and whisk until well combined.
- Sift in the flour and whisk until just combined.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins.
- Bake the cakes for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are still slightly jiggly.
- Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool for 1-2 minutes.
- Run a knife around the edges of the ramekins to loosen the cakes, then invert them onto serving plates.
- Dust the cakes with powdered sugar and serve immediately.
