Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a muffin tin or line it with cupcake liners.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the dark chocolate and butter over low heat, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks and granulated sugar together until pale and fluffy. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Slowly add the cooled chocolate mixture to the egg yolk mixture, stirring until well combined. Sift the flour and salt, then fold it gently into the batter until no lumps remain.
