Prepare the Lava Cake

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F) and grease 4 ramekins with butter, then dust them with flour.

2. Melt the dark chocolate and butter together in a double boiler or microwave. Stir regularly until the chocolate is completely melted.

3. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, egg yolks, sugar, and vanilla extract until creamy and pale.

4. Add the melted chocolate-butter mixture to the egg mixture and gently stir.

5. Add the flour and a pinch of salt, and stir everything together until smooth.

6. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared ramekins, filling them about two-thirds full. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are set but the center is still molten.

Prepare the Hot Raspberries

1. Place the raspberries in a small saucepan with the sugar and lemon juice. Heat over medium heat and cook for about 5 minutes until the raspberries are soft and a syrup forms.

2. Remove the raspberries from heat and set aside while the lava cakes finish baking.
