Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

Melt 1 cup of chocolate and 1/2 cup of butter together in a microwave-safe bowl for 30 seconds, then stir until smooth.

In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup of sugar and 2 eggs until well combined.

Add 1/2 cup of flour, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the egg mixture and mix until just combined.

Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture and stir until fully incorporated.

Grease 4 ramekins with butter and dust with flour to prevent sticking.

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared ramekins, filling them about 3/4 full.

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

Let the cakes cool for 1 minute, then carefully invert each ramekin onto a plate and gently lift off to reveal the molten center.
