Steps (6)
Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease four 6-ounce ramekins and place them on a baking sheet.
Melt butter and chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and chocolate together in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth.
Mix in sugar: Whisk in the powdered sugar until well combined.
Add eggs and vanilla: Add the eggs, egg yolks, and vanilla extract, whisking until smooth.
Incorporate flour: Gently fold in the flour until just combined.
Bake: Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins. Bake for 12 minutes, or until the edges are firm but the center is still soft. Let them cool for 1 minute before inverting onto plates.
