Ingredients
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 5 ounces bittersweet chocolate (4 ounces coarsely chopped, 1 ounce very finely chopped)
- 1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, cut into 8 pieces
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 large egg yolk, at room temperature
- 6 tablespoons of sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F and adjust the oven rack to the upper-middle position. Grease four 4-ounce ramekins with butter, then coat with granulated sugar, tapping out the excess.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar and cornstarch.
- In a medium heatproof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water, melt the butter and chocolate together.
- Add the chocolate mixture to the sugar mixture and whisk to combine. Add the eggs, egg yolks, and vanilla extract, and whisk until thoroughly combined.
- Divide the batter between the prepared ramekins, place them on a rimmed baking sheet, and bake until the tops are set and look shiny on top, 13 to 16 minutes.
- Remove from the oven, cool for 2 minutes, then run a paring knife around the edges of the ramekins. Carefully invert each cake onto a plate and serve immediately.
