Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Grease four ramekins with butter and dust with cocoa powder.

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate and butter together in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
-
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together until pale and creamy.
-
Gradually add the melted chocolate mixture to the egg mixture, stirring until well combined.
-
Sift in the all-purpose flour, salt, and vanilla extract. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the chocolate mixture.
-
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins. Place the ramekins on a baking sheet.
-
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly jiggly.

Remove from the oven and let the cakes rest for 5 minutes.
-
Carefully invert each ramekin onto a serving plate. Dust with powdered sugar and serve with fresh berries.
