Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 385°F. Take your ramekins and grease the interior with butter. Then take some sugar and roll it around the interior. The sugar should stick to the butter, leaving the inside of the ramekins costed in a thin sugar layer.
  2. In a medium sized glass microwave proof measuring cup place semi-sweet chocolate and cold unsalted butter (I cut these into cubes). Place measuring cup in microwave and melt starting at 30 seconds and switching to 10 second intervals. Stir together until melted and combined.
  3. In a large glass measuring cup add eggs and beat, then stir in sugar and salt until well combined. Starting with one third of the chocolate and butter mixture carefully fold it into the eggs, sugar, and salt mixture. Continue until everything has come together.
  4. Pour the mixture equally into prepared ramekins leaving about 1/2-1 inch at the top of the ramekin. Place ramekins in preheated oven for 17* minutes. They are done with the tops have cooked into a slight crust.
  5. Once done, let cool for 2-5 minutes. The edges should set and the inside should stay loose. Run a knife around the edge of the cake and the ramekin, making sure nothing is stuck. Then place a plate upside down on top of the ramekin (be extremely careful the ramekin is hot!) and flip everything over onto the plate. Lift off the ramekin to reveal the the cake.
  6. Serve immediately with ice cream, whip cream and berries. Enjoy!
Recipe Notes

*The size of your ramekins will change the cooking time. These small heart shaped ramekins pictured took 17 minutes. If your ramekins are taller or larger they will need a longer cooking time. Smaller ramekins will need a shorter cooking time. The size of your ramekins will also determine how many you can make.
