So fancy sounding but super easy to make at home, this is a dessert. These have restaurant quality decadence in them — whether you’re treating yourself or impressing guests.
Ingredients
For the Cake:
Dark chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate: 6 oz, chopped
Unsalted butter: For greasing: ½ cup (1 stick), extra
Powdered sugar: 1 cup
Eggs: 2 whole and 2 yolks
All-purpose flour: 6 tbsp
For Toppings:
Vanilla ice cream: 1 scoop per cake
Hot fudge sauce: Store-bought or homemade
Chocolate shell topping: That signature looking shell effect is optional over there
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Ramekins
Quarterly preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
4 ramekins (6 oz), grease with butter and dust with cocoa powder in order to not stick to 4 ramekins (6 oz).
Step 2: Melt the Chocolate and Butter
Melt the chocolate and butter in a microwave safe bowl, in 20 second intervals, stirring after each until the chocolate and butter is smooth and glossy. Set aside to cool slightly.
Step 3: Make the Batter
Pour beaten eggs, egg yolks, and powdered sugar in a mixing bowl and beat until pale and fluffy.
Stir the melted chocolate into egg mixture a few grins at a time.
Combine in the flour and when just combined fold in gently. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 4: Fill the Ramekins
Pour the batter into the prepared ramekins arranging about ¾ the amount into each.
Step 5: Bake
Put the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake for 12–14 minutes. A slight jiggliness at the centers was fine; the edges should be set.
Step 6: Serve Immediately
Allow cakes to cool for 1–2 minutes, then cut these loose with a knife around the edge.
Flip each ramekin on its side and place on serving plates, then gently tap on its top to remove the cake.
Step 7: Add Toppings
Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on a top of each cake.
Those are then drizzled with hot fudge sauce generously.
Pouring chocolate shell top coating over the ice cream makes it hard chocolate top coating.

Use Quality Chocolate: The richer the flavor—meaning the better the chocolate.
Don’t Overbake: An eye on the cakes, which should be around the edges firm but in the middle gooey.
Pre-Prep for Guests: Refrigerate the batter ahead of time in the ramekins and then you can prepare it before baking. If chilled, just bake a few more minutes longer.
