ingredients

non-stick cooking spray
6 ounces semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
10 tablespoons unsalted butter or margarine, at room temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup flour
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
3 large eggs, room temp

For Serving

fresh mint sprigs, optional
confectioners' sugar for dusting, optional
1/2 cup heavy cream, softly beaten
1 package (10 ounce size) frozen raspberries, thawed, pureed in blender
fresh raspberries, optional

directions

Spray inside individual souffle dishes or custard cups with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.

In small heavy saucepan over low heat, melt chocolate, stirring until smooth. Add butter and sugar; stir until melted.

Pour chocolate mixture into large bowl. In small bowl, mix together flour, cocoa, and baking powder.

With electric mixer at medium-high speed, beat chocolate mixture; add eggs and flour mixture; beat about 6 minutes until thickened.

Divide mixture evenly among prepared dishes; cover with plastic wrap. Freeze at least 2 hours or overnight.

Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Remove and discard plastic from frozen cakes. Bake 15 to 18 minutes, until edges are set and center is moist.

Cool cakes slightly before inverting onto serving platters.

To serve: Garnish the cakes with a dusting of powdered sugar and fresh mint; serve with a dollop of whipped cream; place the cakes on a pool of raspberry puree with additional fresh raspberries as garnish.
