Ingredients: Serves 4
For the Lava Cake:
4 oz (115 g) semi-sweet chocolate
1/2 cup (115 g) unsalted butter
2 large eggs
2 large egg yolks
1/4 cup (30 g) all-purpose flour
1/2 cup (100 g) powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
A pinch of salt

For Garnish:
1/2 cup fresh raspberries
1/2 cup fresh blueberries
Mint leaves (optional)
Powdered sugar for dusting

Tools You’ll Need:
Mixing bowls
Whisk
4 ramekins (6 oz each)
Baking sheet
Premium Damascus steel knife for precise slicing of garnishes

Directions:
Get the Ramekins ready:
Set the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C). To keep the ramekins from sticking, lightly dust them with flour and grease them with butter.

Melt the Chocolate:

In a bowl that is safe to use in the microwave, melt the butter and chocolate together for 20 seconds at a time, stirring until smooth.

Mix the Batter:

Beat the eggs, egg yolks, and powdered sugar together in a another bowl until they are light and fluffy. Add the salt and vanilla extract. Fold in the flour just until incorporated, then the melted chocolate mixture slowly.

Fill and Bake:

Fill each ramekin with an equal amount of batter. After placing them on a baking sheet, bake them for 12 to 14 minutes, or until the centre is still soft but the sides are hard.

To serve:

Let the cakes cool for a minute and then release the edges with a Damascus steel knife. Each ramekin should be inverted onto a dish. Add mint leaves, powdered sugar, and fresh berries as garnish.
