Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

Grease ramekins with butter and dust with cocoa powder.

Melt dark chocolate and butter together in a bowl over simmering water, stirring until smooth.

In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy.

Fold the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture gently until combined.

Sift in flour and salt, then fold until just combined.

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins.

Bake for 12-14 minutes until the edges are firm but the center is soft.

Remove from the oven and let sit for 1 minute.

Carefully invert each ramekin onto a plate and let it sit for a few seconds before lifting off.

Dust with powdered sugar and serve immediately.
