2 | eggs |
2 | tablespoons white sugar |
3 1⁄2 | ounces chopped dark chocolate |
5 | tablespoons butter |
4 | teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder |
3 | tablespoons flour |

---|---|
2. | Whisk egg yolks, eggs, and sugar together in a bowl until light and foamy. |
3. | In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate and butter in 30-second intervals until fully melted, stirring after each interval, for 1 to 3 minutes. |
4. | Combine the melted chocolate mixture with the egg and sugar mixture until well combined. Sift in cocoa powder and stir to combine. Sift in flour and salt; stir to form a smooth batter. Mix in the vanilla extract. |
5. | Transfer the batter to a resealable plastic bag. Cut off a corner of the bag to create a tip. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins; gently tap on the counter to remove air bubbles. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. |
6. | Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). |
7. | Place the chilled ramekins in a casserole dish. Pour hot tap water into the dish until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins. |
8. | Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes. Remove and let cool for 15 minutes. |
9. | Invert the cakes onto serving plates and dust with powdered sugar. |
