Let’s get started!

Preheat oven to 450F. Butter and flour 4 ramekins and place on a baking sheet.

Combine the butter, chocolate, and instant coffee in a double boiler and melt over low heat, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar on medium speed until thick and pale yellow.

Add the melted chocolate mixture, cake flour, baking powder, and salt. Fold until well combined.

Transfer the batter into the prepared ramekins. Bake for 6-8 minutes or until the sides of the cakes are firm set, but the center is jiggly. Allow to cool in the ramekins for a minute.

Place a dessert plate over each ramekin and flip it over, carefully remove the ramekin. Dust with powdered sugar and garnish with mint, if desired. Serve immediately!
