Rich, gooey, and soul-satisfying — this cake oozes molten chocolate from its imperfectly crisp exterior. Paired with melting vanilla ice cream, it’s a homemade dessert that feels both rustic and indulgent.

Instructions: 1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease 4 ramekins with butter and dust with cocoa powder. 2. Melt butter and chocolate together until smooth. Let cool slightly. 3. Whisk eggs, yolks, and sugar until thick and pale. 4. Fold in chocolate mixture, then sift in flour and salt. Mix until just combined. 5. Pour into ramekins and bake for 11–12 minutes — edges set, center still soft. 6. Let rest 1 minute, then invert onto plates. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
