Step 1
Preheat oven to 425°F. Butter 4 ramekins or a microwave-safe mug and place on a baking sheet.
Step 2
Melt chocolate and butter together in a microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring until smooth.
Step 3
Whisk eggs and sugar until pale and thick, about 2 minutes. Fold in melted chocolate until combined.
Step 4
Sift flour over the mixture and fold gently until no streaks remain. Divide evenly among ramekins.
Step 5
Bake for 12–14 minutes until edges are firm but the center jiggles slightly when shaken.
Step 6
Top each warm cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Serve immediately with a latte on the side.
