Preheat your oven to 220Β°C (430Β°F). Grease four ramekins with butter or non-stick spray and dust the insides with cocoa powder, ensuring even coverage. Tap out excess cocoa powder.
In a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, melt the sugar-free dark chocolate and butter together, stirring occasionally until smooth and fully combined. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated erythritol, eggs, and egg yolks until pale and thick. This should take around 3-4 minutes with a hand mixer.
Fold the slightly cooled chocolate mixture into the whipped egg mixture carefully, maintaining as much of the air in the mixture as possible.
Add the vanilla extract and almond flour, then gently fold in a pinch of salt. Mix until combined but be careful not to overmix.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared ramekins, filling each about 3/4 full.
Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes. The edges should be firm, but the center will remain soft.
Remove from the oven and let the cakes sit for 1 minute. Carefully run a knife around the edges to loosen them from the ramekins.
Invert each ramekin onto a serving plate and gently remove them by lifting upward. Serve immediately while the centers are still gooey.
