  • large eggs at room temperature
  • tablespoons flour all-purpose
  • tablespoon juice of lemon 
  • cups raspberries fresh frozen thawed
  • 0.5 cup sugar 
  • tablespoon sugar

Equipment

  • bowl
  • baking sheet
  • oven
  • knife
  • ramekin
  • double boiler
  • hand mixer

Directions

  1. Place raspberries in a large bowl and stir in lemon juice and sugar. Use a fork to mash until sugar is dissolved and sauce is chunky. Cover and chill well before serving.
  2. Make cakes: Preheat oven to 425F. Butter 8 3/4-cup ramekins or custard cups. Dust with sugar and tap out excess.
  3. Place on a large baking sheet.
  4. Melt 12 Tbsp. butter with chocolate in top of a double boiler over barely simmering water, stirring often.
  5. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  6. Using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat eggs and egg yolks with sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy, about 6 minutes. Fold in flour and chocolate mixture. Divide batter between ramekins and bake until firm yet slightly soft in center, 10 to 12 minutes. Do not overbake.
  7. Run a knife around outside of cakes to loosen and carefully turn out onto small plates.
  8. Serve warm with raspberry sauce.
