  1. Prepare ramekins
    1. Grease four ramekins generously with unsalted butter, coating the bottoms and sides well, then dust the insides with cocoa powder, tapping out the excess. Place ramekins on a baking tray and set aside.
    1 tbsp unsalted butter (for greasing ramekins), 1 tbsp cocoa powder (for dusting ramekins)
  2. Melt chocolate mixture
    2. Set the oven rack in the center and preheat the oven to 425°F. In a heatproof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water, melt the chopped semisweet chocolate with the unsalted butter, stirring until smooth, then remove from heat and let cool slightly.
    0.5 cup unsalted butter, 170 g semisweet chocolate (chopped)
  3. Make batter
    3. In a mixing bowl, whisk the granulated sugar with the eggs and egg yolks until thickened and slightly pale, then whisk in the vanilla extract and fine salt. Gently whisk the warm chocolate mixture into the egg mixture until combined.
    0.5 cup granulated sugar, 2 piece large eggs, 2 piece large egg yolks, 0.1 tsp fine salt, 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  4. 4. Sift the all-purpose flour over the chocolate batter and fold gently with a spatula just until no dry streaks remain, taking care not to overmix.
    0.2 cup all-purpose flour
  5. Fill ramekins
    5. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling each about three-quarters full, and smooth the tops with a spoon.
  6. Bake cakes
    6. Place the baking tray with the ramekins in the preheated oven and bake until the edges are set but centers still slightly jiggly when gently shaken, about 11 to 13 minutes.
  7. Unmold
    7. Remove the tray from the oven and let the cakes rest for 1 to 2 minutes. Run a thin knife around the inside edges of each ramekin, then carefully invert each onto a serving plate and lift off the ramekin.
  8. To serve
    8. Dust the warm cakes with powdered sugar and serve immediately, adding a scoop of vanilla ice cream beside each cake if desired.
    2 tbsp powdered sugar (for serving), 4 scoop vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)
