📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Butter and flour 6 (6-ounce) ramekins. Place on a rimmed baking sheet and set aside.
2
In a medium, microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter and chocolate. Microwave at 50% power until the mixture is smooth and melted, about ⏱️ 90 seconds, stirring every ⏱️ 30 seconds. Set aside.
3
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, combine the eggs, yolks, sugar, vanilla, instant espresso granules, and salt. Beat on medium-high until thick and pale, about ⏱️ 3 minutes.

Immediately fold the warm chocolate mixture and flour into the whipped egg mixture. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins. (A heaping 1/3 cup should go in each).
5
Bake until the sides of the cakes are set, but the centers are still slightly jiggly, 7 to ⏱️ 9 minutes. Let the cakes cool in the ramekins for ⏱️ 1 minute. Invert each cake onto a serving plate. Serve immediately with ice cream, chocolate or caramel sauce, and halved strawberries.
