    List of Ingredients




    RASPBERRY SAUCE:
    4 cups fresh or frozen raspberries
    1/2 cup white sugar
    1 to 3 tsp. fresh lemon juice

    CHOCOLATE CAKE:
    2 tbls. unsalted butter, for preparing ramekins
    2 tbls. all-purpose flour, for preparing ramekins
    12 oz. bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
    1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
    1 cup white sugar
    1/2 cup all-purpose flour
    6 large eggs
    4 cups vanilla ice cream, for serving
    2 tbls. powdered sugar, for garnish
    6 fresh mint sprigs, for garnish

    Recipe



    To make the raspberry sauce: Place the raspberries and sugar in a small saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring, over high heat. Boil until the sugar dissolves. Add lemon juice to taste. Let cool.

    Place half the sauce in a food processor fitted with a steel blade and puree. Combine with the remaining sauce, cover, and refrigerate until cold.

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Generously butter and flour six 8-ounce ramekins.

    Place the chocolate and butter in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir until completely melted. Set aside to cool.

    Place the sugar, flour, and eggs in a large bowl and beat until thick and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Gently beat in the cooled chocolate mixture.

    Pour the batter into the prepared ramekins, filling them two-thirds to three-quarters of the way up the sides. Bake until they begin to puff up, about 15 minutes. Run a knife around the edge of each ramekin and turn the ramekin upside down on a plate to unmold.

    Serve each warm cake surrounded by sauce, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream alongside. Garnish with the powdered sugar and sprigs of fresh mint.

    Makes 6 Servings
