Step 2: In a heatproof bowl, melt the butter and chocolate chips together. Stir until smooth.

Step 3: Add sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt to the chocolate mixture. Mix well.

Step 4: Gently fold in the flour until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5: Pour the batter into the prepared ramekins, filling each halfway.

Step 9: Serve immediately, and enjoy the heavenly eruption of warm caramel from the center of each cake.
