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.
