This beloved dessert has spawned a thousand variations. Our favorite recipe also happens to be the easiest: one nearly flourless chocolate batter that bakes to a delicate crust on the outside, leaving the middle warm, liquid, and ready to flow forth at the touch of a fork.

Steps:
- Butter and flour six 6-ounce (2-inch-deep) ramekins.
- Melt butter and chocolate in a double boiler or a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Meanwhile, whisk together eggs and sugar until pale and thick, about 4 minutes. Sift flour and salt into another bowl.
- Fold egg mixture into chocolate mixture. Immediately fold in flour mixture. Divide batter evenly among ramekins, filling each three-quarters full. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Bake until just set, 14 to 16 minutes. Let cool for 3 minutes. Turn out cakes onto plates.
