Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
Grease six ramekins with non-stick cooking spray and lightly dust them with cocoa powder. Set aside.
In a double boiler or a heatproof bowl over simmering water, melt the dark chocolate and unsalted butter together until smooth. Stir occasionally to blend them well.
In a separate large bowl, combine the granulated sugar, eggs, and egg yolks. Use a whisk or an electric mixer to beat the mixture until it becomes thick and pale, about 3-4 minutes.
Slowly pour the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the sugar and egg mixture, stirring continuously to combine.
Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
Gently fold in the gluten-free all-purpose flour, the tablespoon of cocoa powder, and salt until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
Divide the mixture evenly among the prepared ramekins.
Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are firm but the centers remain soft.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly for 1-2 minutes.
Carefully invert each ramekin onto a serving plate. Gently lift and remove the ramekins, allowing the petit gateau to unmold.
Serve immediately, optionally with a dusting of powdered sugar, fresh berries, or a scoop of gluten-free vanilla ice cream.
