Istruzioni

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Butter four 6-ounce ramekins and dust with Unsweetened cocoa powder. Tap out excess.
✓ Punto di controllo: Ramekins evenly coated with thin layer of cocoa
💡 Consiglio dello chef: This prevents sticking and adds chocolate flavor
Melt Bittersweet chocolate and Unsalted butter together in microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Let cool slightly.
✓ Punto di controllo: Mixture glossy and fully melted, no lumps
In separate bowl, whisk Large eggs, Egg yolks, and Granulated sugar until pale and thickened, about 2 minutes.
✓ Punto di controllo: Mixture ribbons off whisk
💡 Consiglio dello chef: Use electric mixer for best volume
Gently fold chocolate mixture into egg mixture. Sift in All-purpose flour and Kosher salt, fold until just combined. Do not overmix.
✓ Punto di controllo: Batter smooth with no flour streaks
💡 Consiglio dello chef: Fold gently to keep air in for light texture
Divide batter evenly among prepared ramekins. Place on baking sheet.
✓ Punto di controllo: Ramekins filled to 3/4 full
Bake until edges are set but centers jiggle slightly, 11-13 minutes. Let rest 1 minute, then run knife around edges and invert onto plates.
✓ Punto di controllo: Edges firm, center soft and wobbly; toothpick in center should come out with wet batter
💡 Consiglio dello chef: Oven times vary; start checking at 11 minutes to avoid overbaking
Dust with Powdered sugar and serve immediately. Cut open to reveal molten center.
✓ Punto di controllo: Warm cake with flowing chocolate interior
