Ingredients

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly spray four 6-oz ramekins with nonstick spray and dust with cocoa powder (optional) to prevent sticking.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate and butter in 20-second bursts, stirring until smooth. Let cool 2 minutes.
Whisk in powdered sugar until glossy. Add egg, egg yolk, vanilla, and salt; whisk until thick and pale, about 1 minute.
Fold in flour just until combined and no streaks remain.
Divide batter evenly among ramekins. Place ramekins on a quarter sheet pan for easy transfer.
Bake 9-11 minutes, until edges are set but centers are still slightly jiggly. Do not overbake—they should be gooey in the center!
Cool 2 minutes. Run a small knife around the edges. Invert onto plates or serve in ramekins. Garnish with fresh raspberries and a dusting of powdered sugar if desired.
