Ingredients
Oops! Something went wrong. Our team is working on it.
2 egg yolks
2 eggs
3 tablespoons white sugar
3 ½ ounces chopped dark chocolate
5 tablespoons butter
4 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder
3 tablespoons flour
1 pinch salt
⅛ teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
Generously butter the insides of four 5 1/2-ounce ramekins.
Whisk egg yolks, eggs, and sugar together in a bowl until light, foamy, and lemon colored.
Melt chocolate and butter in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals until melted, stirring after each interval, 1 to 3 minutes.
Stir melted chocolate mixture into egg and sugar mixture until combined. Sift in cocoa powder and stir to combine. Sift in flour and salt; stir to combine into a batter. Stir in vanilla.
Transfer batter to a resealable plastic bag. Snip off one corner of the bag with scissors to create a tip. Divide batter evenly between the prepared ramekins; gently tap ramekins on the counter to remove any air bubbles. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
Arrange chilled ramekins in a casserole dish. Pour enough hot tap water into the casserole dish to reach halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for 15 minutes.
Loosen the edges from each ramekin with a knife. Invert cakes onto serving plates and dust with powdered sugar.
