Instructions

- In a separate bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, large egg whole, and large egg yolk until pale and thick.
- Add vanilla extract to the egg mixture and whisk to combine.
- Slowly add the melted chocolate mixture to the eggs, whisking constantly to avoid cooking the eggs.
- Sift all purpose flour over the mixture and gently fold in until just combined.
- For the batter into the prepared ramekin.
- Place ramekin on a baking sheet and bake for 12 minutes until the edges are set but the center is still soft.

- Run a knife around the edges to loosen the cake and invert onto a plate.
- Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
