Break 4 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate into a bowl.

Chop 6 tablespoons of butter into pieces and save the wrapper for greasing ramekins.

Microwave the chocolate and butter together in 30-second increments until melted, about 1 minute total.

Stir the melted chocolate and butter mixture until combined and set aside.

Separate one egg, placing the egg white in one bowl and the yolk in a larger bowl.

Add the egg yolk and 1 whole egg to the larger bowl.

Add 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar and vanilla extract to the egg mixture and beat for about 4 minutes until fully combined.

Add 1/8 teaspoon of salt to the egg mixture.

Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture and stir to combine.

Add 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour to the mixture and stir until combined.

Grease ramekins using the butter wrapper and pour the batter into the ramekins.

Place the ramekins in a cold air fryer basket without preheating.

Set the air fryer to 370 degrees and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, letting them go for 10 minutes for a molten center.

After 10 minutes, remove the ramekins using a clean dish towel as they will be hot.

Let the cakes rest for about 1 minute before loosening the sides with a butter knife.

Place a plate on top of the ramekin and flip it over to release the cake.

Serve the cakes on different plates with fresh whipped cream and fresh chopped strawberries and blueberries.
