📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Generously spray 4 small ramekins/custard cups with nonstick baking spray WITH flour or grease and dust your cups with cocoa powder. Place cups on a baking sheet.
2
Add butter and baking chocolate to a large microwave-safe bowl and microwave for ⏱️ 1 minute, or until butter is melted, then stir until butter and chocolate are completely smooth.
3
Stir in sugar until smooth. Add eggs and egg yolks, then beat for ⏱️ 1 minute with a handheld whisk. Fold in flour just until combined.

4
Evenly spoon batter into prepared cups (I use a large cookie scoop). Bake for ⏱️ 11-13 minutes at 425 degrees F, or until the sides are firm but the centers look slightly shiny and jiggly but are not wet to the touch.
5
Let cool for ⏱️ 2 minutes, then gently loosen cakes from custard cups by sliding a knife around the edges of each cake; then invert cakes onto serving plates.
6
Dust with powdered sugar or top with ice cream and berries if desired. Serve immediately (because the cakes will continue to cook in the center).
