Step 1
Preheat oven to 425°F. Grease two 6-ounce ramekins with butter or nonstick spray.
Step 2
Melt 4 oz chocolate and 1/2 cup butter together in a microwave or over simmering water, stirring until smooth. Let cool slightly.
Step 3
Whisk 2 eggs and 1/4 cup sugar into the chocolate mixture until well combined. Stir in 2 tbsp flour until just incorporated.
Step 4
Divide batter between ramekins. Bake until edges are set but centers are soft and jiggly, about 10-12 minutes.
Step 5
Let cool 1 minute, then run a knife around edges and invert onto plates. Serve immediately with raspberries and a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
