Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
12 oz. bittersweet chocolate, chopped
2 sticks unsalted butter
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup flour
6 large eggs

Raspberry sauce:
3 cups fresh rasperries
1/2 cup sugar
lemon juice to taste
Directions:
Directions:
Take 8, 6 oz. ramekins and butter them, then add flour and shake to cover butter.
Place chocolate and butter in double boiler top and stir over heat until smooth. Remove and allow to cool. Place sugar, flour and eggs in beater bowl and beat until thick and fluffy and pale color. Slowly beat cooled chocolate mixture into this. Pour batter into ramekins. I put them on a tray and cover with plastic wrap and place them in frig for 4-6 hours. (I go this far in the morning and make the sauce.

Raspberry Sauce:
Put raspberries and sugar in a small saucepan and bring to boil, stirring. Boil till sugar dissolves. Add lemon juice to taste. Let cool. Take half the sauce and put it into a food processor and puree. Mix with the other half of sauce and refrigerate.
At dinner time just before we sit down, I place the ramekins in a 350 degree oven and allow to bake about 15 minutes. They should be puffed up. I remove from oven and to serve, I poke a hole in the top of each and pour in some sauce. The original recipe calls for running a knife around the ramekin and turning the cake upside down onto a plate and pouring the sauce over the top. TOO MUCH TROUBLE when you have 8 people waiting for dessert!

Personal Notes:
This is a delicious dessert and well worth the time especially since you can do all the work in the morning. I use a small flat pan that can go right in the oven instead of a tray to hold them.
