1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and grease four ramekins with non-stick spray.
Melt dark chocolate and butter together in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring until smooth.
In another bowl, whisk eggs and sugar until pale and fluffy.
Slowly mix the melted chocolate into the egg mixture while whisking continuously.
Gently fold in the flour until just combined; avoid over-mixing.
Pour batter into prepared ramekins, filling each about three-quarters full.
Bake for 12-14 minutes until edges are firm but centers jiggle slightly.
Let cool for a minute before inverting onto plates and serving immediately.
