1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). 🔥
2. Prepare Ramekins:
Grease four 6-ounce ramekins with butter and lightly dust with cocoa powder to prevent sticking. 🍫
3. Melt Chocolate and Butter:
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chopped dark chocolate and unsalted butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth. 🍫
4. Mix the Batter:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, and powdered sugar until well combined. 🥄
Add the melted chocolate mixture and vanilla extract to the egg mixture, stirring until smooth. 🌿
Gently fold in the flour and a pinch of salt until just combined. Do not overmix. 🔄
5. Fill Ramekins:
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins. 🍰
6. Bake:
Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are firm but the center is still soft and jiggly. ⏲️
7. Cool and Serve:
Remove from the oven and let the cakes cool for 1 minute. Carefully run a knife around the edges to loosen and invert each ramekin onto a plate. 🎂
Serve immediately with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top and fresh berries on the side. Garnish with mint leaves if desired. 🍦🍓
