Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F). Grease four ramekins with a bit of butter and dust them with cocoa powder to ensure easy release after baking.
In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate and butter together over a pot of simmering water, stirring occasionally until smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, eggs, egg yolks, and vanilla extract until thick and pale in color.
Gently fold the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture using a spatula until well combined.
Sift the gluten-free all-purpose flour and salt into the batter and gently fold until just combined, ensuring there are no flour streaks.
Evenly divide the batter among the prepared ramekins, filling them almost to the top.
Place the ramekins on a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes. The edges should be firm while the center remains soft and jiggly.
Remove from oven and allow to rest for 1-2 minutes before carefully inverting each ramekin onto a serving plate.
Serve immediately for the best molten center effect. Optionally, dust with confectioners' sugar or serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
