Step 1
Combine chocolate and butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second pulses, stirring between pulses, until melted and smooth.
Step 2
Whisk in sugar and eggs until the mixture is thick and glossy, about 1 minute by hand.
Step 3
Fold in flour and a pinch of salt until no dry streaks remain.
Step 4
Divide batter between 4 microwave-safe mugs or ramekins. Microwave each individually for 60–90 seconds until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs.
Step 5
Cool for 1 minute, then top each with a maraschino cherry. Serve warm.
