Preheat your oven to 450°. Butter four 6-ounce ramekins. Sprinkle cocoa powder in the ramekins and tap out the excess. Set the ramekins aside on a large baking sheet.

Place the remaining butter in a medium bowl and melt it in the microwave. Add the chocolate and stir until chocolate is completely melted, then whisk until smooth.
2
In a large bowl, beat eggs and egg yolks with the sugar and salt until thickened and pale. Once the chocolate has melted, whisk the chocolate and butter. Add vanilla and quickly fold the chocolate and the flour into the egg mixture, mixing until blended.

Bake for 7-8 minutes or until the sides of the cakes are firm but centers are soft. Allow cakes to cool for 1 minute, then cover with a plate and flip over. Let stand 10 seconds and remove the ramekins. Sprinkle powdered sugar over the top and serve immediately.
