Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Butter and flour four 6-ounce ramekins. Place ramekins on a baking sheet.
2. In a medium saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Add chopped chocolate and stir until completely melted and smooth. Remove from heat and whisk in the powdered sugar until smooth. Stir in the flour.
3. Whisk in the eggs and egg yolks one at a time until well combined. Stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
4. Pour batter evenly into the prepared ramekins.
5. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the sides are firm and the center is slightly soft (they will look slightly underdone).
6. Carefully invert each cake onto a serving plate. Let stand for 1 minute before serving. Dust with powdered sugar, if desired, and serve immediately with ice cream, berries, or whipped cream.
