Ingredients
  

  • 4 oz semi-sweet chocolate chopped into small pieces
  • 8 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • pinch salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Grease a 6-inch cake pan, line it with parchment paper, and spray more cooking spray on top of the parchment paper.
  • In a large microwavable bowl, place the chopped chocolate and butter then microwave for 1 minute. Stir the chocolate and butter together until melted.
  • In a medium bowl, beat together the eggs, egg yolks, and sugar until pale and thick in texture.
  • Gradually beat the egg mixture into the melted chocolate-butter until completely incorporated.
  • Add the flour and salt to the egg and chocolate mixture and beat until just combined.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 12 to 14 minutes.
  • The cakes should be slightly under-cooked, with the center still gooey.
