Volcanoes

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Butter four 6-ounce ramekins and lightly dust with cocoa powder or flour to prevent sticking.

2. 2

   In a heatproof bowl, melt the butter together with the dark chocolate until smooth. Set aside to slightly cool.

3. 3

   In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolk, and granulated sugar until the mixture is pale, thick, and ribbon-like.

4. 4

   Stir in the vanilla extract and salt until evenly distributed.

5. 5

   Fold the melted chocolate mixture into the egg-sugar mixture just until combined, avoiding overmixing.

6. 6

   Sift in and gently fold the all-purpose flour until the batter is smooth and cohesive.

7. 7

   Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins. Spoon a teaspoon of raspberry jam into the center of each, pushing it slightly toward the middle to resemble lava.

8. 8

   Bake for 12-14 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers remain molten. Remove from the oven and let stand 1 minute.

9. 9

   Carefully invert each ramekin onto a plate, reveal the lava eruption, dust with powdered sugar, and garnish with fresh berries. Serve immediately.
