Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F, and mist six 4-ounce ramekins with non-stick spray.
  • Place the butter and chocolate chips in a large microwave-safe bowl, and microwave in 30-second increments, stirring, until completely melted.
  • Add the powdered sugar, and stir until smooth.
  • Stir in the eggs and yolks, one at a time, until completely incorporated.
  • Stir in the vanilla.
  • Add the flour, cocoa, and salt, and stir until blended.
  • Transfer the batter to the prepared ramekins, and bake for 16 to 20 minutes, or until set around the edges but still wobbly in the centers.
  • Cool for 20 minutes, then invert the cakes onto serving plates and dust with powdered sugar.
