Michelin chefs Bake: Watch these Michelin chefs bake cakes

If you're self quarantining at the moment, there's never been a better uninterrupted time to bake!

Whether you're baking for stress relief, fun or simply distraction, it's time to dust down those weighing scales and get back in the baking zone.

In our Michelin chefs cook series we hone in on humble everyday ingredients and recipe favourites and see how every day can become extraordinary in the hands of Michelin starred chefs.

So for any ambitious bakers out there, if your victoria sponge isn't sunk in the middle and your lemon tart doesn't have a soggy bottom, it's time to turn up the pressure and take your baking to the next level.

Try your hand at Heston Blumenthal's two-part Black forest gateau, Gordon Ramsay's chocolate lava cake and plenty more.

Heston's Black Forest Gateau - Part one

Black forest gateau is given an update courtesy of Heston Blumenthal. He goes for a five layer approach; a crunchy biscuit base, a thin layer of apricot compote, an aerated chocolate bar layer, sour cherries and chocolate ganache, flourless chocolate sponge, chocolate mousse with a white mousse and kirsch cream topping.
