Preheat the oven to 425° F. Spray your ramekins with non stick spray, arrange on a cookie sheet and then set aside.
In a microwave safe bowl, add the broken chocolate and cut butter. Microwave for 30 seconds and then stir. Repeat until the chocolate is completely melted. Set aside.
In a large bowl using an electric hand mixer, combine the granulated sugar, eggs, egg yolks, vanilla, cornstarch and flour until pale yellow and fluffy. This will take a few minutes at mixing on a high speed.
Pour the melted butter and chocolate mixture into the egg mixture and fold together by hand until completely combined.
Divide the batter among the greased ramekins.
Bake at 425° F for 12-15 minutes or until the temperature of the lava inside of the cake reads 160° F.
Immediately after removing from the oven, flip the molten lava cake upside down onto your serving plate. Sprinkle with powdered sugar or top with ice cream and enjoy!
