Method
Preparation
Melt Chocolate and Butter
In a medium heatproof bowl, combine the dark chocolate and unsalted butter. Melt them together using a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Allow to cool slightly.
Combine Mixtures
Once the chocolate mixture has cooled, add in the eggs, egg yolks, and vanilla extract. Whisk until fully combined. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, folding gently until just combined.
Baking
Fill Ramekins
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared ramekins, filling them about 2/3 full.
Bake
Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still soft. Do not overbake.
Cool and Serve
Remove from the oven and let the lava cakes cool for 1 minute. Carefully invert each ramekin onto a plate. Serve immediately with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
