Method
Cake Preparation
Melt Chocolate and Butter
In a heatproof bowl, combine dark chocolate and unsalted butter. Melt over a double boiler or in the microwave until smooth, stirring occasionally.
Mix Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, eggs, and egg yolks until thick and pale. Gradually add the melted chocolate mixture and stir until well combined. Fold in the flour gently.
Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes until the edges are firm but the center is soft. Let them cool for a minute before inverting onto plates.
Ganache Preparation
Heat Cream
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until just simmering.
Make Ganache
Remove from heat and add dark chocolate. Let it sit for a minute, then stir until smooth and glossy.
Serving
Plate the Cake
Place the inverted lava cakes on serving plates. Pour the chocolate ganache over the center of each cake, allowing it to flow out.
Garnish
Toss the mixed berries with powdered sugar and place them around the cake for garnish.
