100 g butter
2 eggs
2 egg yolks
60 g (1/4 cup) caster sugar
30 g (1/4 cup) plain flour

Preheat oven to 200°C. Butter 4 ramekins and dust with cocoa.
Melt chocolate and butter together. Cool slightly.

Divide among ramekins. Bake 11–12 minutes until edges are set but centres wobble. Serve immediately with ice cream.

Tip: Undercook slightly — the molten centre is the whole point.
