Preheat the oven to 425°F.

Lightly grease four ramekins with butter and place them on a baking tray.

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the unsalted butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips. Microwave for 1 minute on medium power. Check and stir. If the chocolate has not completely melted, microwave for another 15 seconds, then stir again, repeating until the chocolate is fully melted.

In a separate large bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, and granulated sugar until well-blended.

Add the melted chocolate and butter to the egg and sugar mixture, stirring well until fully combined.

Gently fold in the all-purpose flour and vanilla extract until the batter is smooth.

Divide the batter evenly among the four prepared ramekins.

Bake in the preheated oven for 14 minutes, or until the sides are set and firm but the center is still slightly runny.

Let the cakes cool for a minute straight from the oven. Then, using a small spatula or knife, loosen the cakes from the sides of the ramekins.

Invert each ramekin onto a dessert plate, wait for 10 seconds, and then carefully lift off the ramekin.

Dust each cake with a generous amount of confectioners sugar. Serve immediately for optimum taste and molten texture.
