Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 oz White Chocolate Use a bar or good chips that melt smoothly.
  • 2 tbsp Butter Melt with white chocolate.
  • 2 large Eggs Plus one extra yolk for gooey center.
  • 1/2 cup Sugar
  • 1/4 cup Flour
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract Optional, but recommended.

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven and grease your ramekins well with butter and a light dusting of flour.
  2. Melt the butter and white chocolate together in the microwave or over a saucepan of simmering water.
  3. Whisk the eggs, extra yolk, and sugar until lighter and thicker.
  4. Stir in the melted chocolate mixture, then add salt and vanilla if using.
  5. Fold in the flour until combined, being careful not to overmix.
Baking

  2. Let the cakes sit for 1 minute, then carefully invert onto a plate.

Notes

For decorating, dust with powdered sugar, add fresh berries and a scoop of ice cream. Consider additional toppings like a pinch of flaky salt for added texture and flavor.
