Cooking Method
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and grease four ramekins with butter. Dust lightly with cocoa powder.
- Melt the butter and chocolate together until smooth, then let cool slightly.
- In a bowl, whisk the eggs, egg yolks, and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Fold the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture.
- Gently fold in the flour and a pinch of salt until just combined.
- Fill each ramekin halfway with batter.
- Add 1 tablespoon of salted caramel sauce to the center of each ramekin.
- Cover with the remaining batter.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers remain soft.
- Let the cakes rest for 1 minute, then carefully invert onto serving plates.
- Garnish with vanilla ice cream, extra caramel sauce, flaky sea salt, or fresh berries, and serve immediately.
