Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) if baking immediately, or skip this step if freezing for later use.
Grease six 6-ounce ramekins with non-stick cooking spray. Alternatively, you can use butter and lightly dust with flour.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and chopped bittersweet chocolate together, stirring constantly, until smooth and fully combined. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and granulated sugar until the mixture is pale and thick, about 1-2 minutes.
Slowly pour the slightly cooled chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to combine.
Gently fold in the all-purpose flour, vanilla extract, and salt until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling each about three-quarters full.
If freezing for OAMC, cover each ramekin tightly with plastic wrap and aluminum foil. Label with the date and cooking instructions. Freeze for up to 3 months.
If baking immediately, place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still looks soft and slightly jiggly.
For frozen cakes, remove from the freezer and allow to sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before baking. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake for 15-17 minutes.
