"Now this dessert is packed with jeopardy. Why come in with such a difficult dish to nail?"

Becca: "I think for Gen Z's, it's all about, you know, we're the youngest generation right now. We've got to prove ourselves, and so that means taking risks."

"Visually, it's beautiful. This is actually my favorite dessert, but I will say that's a good bad thing because I have extremely high standards."

"And the risk here is that we cut it open. If it's not molten, we're not even tasting it."

"How long was in the oven for Becca?"

Becca: "Eleven minutes."

"Good news for you. Perfectly cooked. Let's hope it tastes as good as it looks."

"And what chocolate did you use?"

Becca: "Bittersweet. I'm a dark chocolate girl."

"I would have loved if you cut those nuts up a little bit smaller. It's hard to take that big of a bite sometimes, it almost kind of cuts your mouth. But the lava was perfect, and it was just the right amount of sweet and bitter at the same time. I think you crushed it."

"The cake is flawless. I mean, it's everything you expect. It has the right texture, consistency. The chocolate is well tempered, soft, ooey gooey."

"You know, it's good, but there's a lot of good molten cakes. At this point, I'm more evaluating. Like, do you have what it takes?"

Becca: "I may be a part of the youngest generation, but that doesn't mean that I should be underestimated. I've been underestimated my entire life. It's driven me to fight harder, to be stronger, to be more determined than ever. That's exactly what I'm gonna bring here."
