- Remove from the heat and pour over the berries. Stir gently and set aside for one hour.
- Remove the berries and pat dry. Set aside.
- For the Scotch Caramel, place sugar into a small saucepan over medium heat. Allow sugar to melt until deep amber in colour, swirling pan occasionally for 6-10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, warm the cream gently. Add to the sugar and whisk until combined.
- Add the butter and a couple pinches of salt until the caramel is bitter and salty in flavour.
- Add the whisky and whisk until combined. Set aside.

- Place the eggs and brown sugar into the bowl of a stand mixer and whisk until combined.
- Add the chocolate mixture and mix on medium high speed for 2 minutes then stop the mixer and add the remaining ingredients. Mix on high speed for 2 minutes, scraping down the inside of the bowl every 30 seconds.
- Pour the mixture into the prepare moulds and bake for 8 minutes, until cakes are risen with a slight depression in the centre. Remove from the oven and set aside for 1 minute before inverting onto serving plates.
- To serve, add some Macerated Berries and Chantilly Cream to the plates. Pour warm Scotch Caramel over the cakes and serve immediately.
