Ingredients
  

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

½ cup unsalted butter

2 large eggs

2 large egg yolks

½ cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

¼ cup all-purpose flour

½ cup fresh raspberries

Pinch of salt

Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Optional: Fresh whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for serving

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease four ramekins (6 oz size) with butter and dust with cocoa powder.

    In a medium heatproof bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and unsalted butter. Melt in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted.

      In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until pale and slightly thickened.

        Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, stirring gently to combine.

          Sift in the flour and add a pinch of salt. Fold until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

            Gently fold in half of the raspberries into the batter.

              Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling them about ¾ full. Drop a few of the remaining raspberries into the center of each ramekin, pressing them down slightly.

                Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are still soft and gooey.

                  Remove from the oven and let them rest for 1 minute. Carefully run a knife around the edges to loosen the cakes. Invert each ramekin onto a plate and gently lift it off.

                    Dust with powdered sugar and serve immediately, optionally with a dollop of fresh whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
