Ingredients
  

Chocolate and Butter Mixture

  • 1 cup dark chocolate at least 60% cocoa for depth
  • 1 cup unsalted butter for better control over seasoning

Baking Essentials

  • 1 cup granulated sugar to sweeten the batter
  • 2 large eggs fresh for texture
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour for structure in the cakes

Instructions
 

Preparation Step

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and grease your ramekins with butter.
  • Melt Chocolate and Butter
  • Mix in Sugar, Eggs, and Flour
  • Bake and Serve

Notes

For best results, allow the batter to rest before baking to enhance the flavors. Additionally, be cautious not to overbake, as achieving that gooey center is key. Store any unbaked cakes in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
