Instructions

1

Prepare the ramekins

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and grease four ramekins with butter and dust with cocoa powder.

2

Melt chocolate and butter

In a heatproof bowl, combine dark chocolate and butter. Melt them together over a double boiler or in the microwave.

3

Mix wet ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together sugar, eggs, egg yolks, and vanilla extract until pale and fluffy.

4

Combine all ingredients

Slowly fold the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, then add the flour, salt, baking powder, and cocoa powder until just combined.

5

Fill and bake

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared ramekins and bake for 12-14 minutes until the edges are firm but the center is still soft.

6

Serve

Let them cool for a minute. Invert onto plates, dust with powdered sugar, and serve with raspberries and whipped cream.
