Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F). Grease four ramekins (approximately 6 ounces each) with a small amount of coconut oil and dust with cocoa powder, tapping out the excess.
In a heatproof bowl, combine the dairy-free dark chocolate and coconut oil. Set the bowl over a pot of simmering water, making sure the bowl doesn’t touch the water, and stir until melted and smooth.
Remove the bowl from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, and granulated sugar until the mixture is pale and slightly thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
Gently fold the cooled chocolate mixture into the egg mixture using a spatula. Be careful not to deflate the eggs.
Sift the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and sea salt together. Gently fold these dry ingredients into the chocolate mixture until just combined.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins and place them on a baking tray.
Bake the cakes in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are firm and the center is soft and gooey.
Remove from the oven and let sit for 1-2 minutes before carefully running a knife around the edges to loosen.
Invert each ramekin onto a serving plate and serve immediately. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar or serve with a scoop of dairy-free ice cream.
