• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, combine the eggs, egg yolks, sugar, vanilla, instant espresso granules, and salt. Beat on medium-high until thick and pale, about 3 minutes.
• Immediately fold the warm chocolate mixture and flour into the whipped egg mixture. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins. (A heaping 1/3 cup should go in each).
• Bake until the sides of the cakes are set, but the centers are still slightly jiggly, 8 to 10 minutes. Let the cakes cool in the ramekins for 1 minute. Invert each cake onto a serving plate. Serve immediately with ice cream, chocolate or caramel sauce and halved strawberries.
