MOLTEN CHOCOLATE CAKES-

6 oz semisweet chocolate, coarsley chopped. (also can use 1 c. of semisweet chocolate chips)

1 1/2 c unsalted butter

3 large eggs

4 large egg yolks

1 1/2 c powdered sugar

1/2 c flour

whipping cream

butter 8 6 oz ramekins with 2 tbl butter and sprinkle with 2 tbl sugar, shaking off excess. in a medium saucepan, melt the chocolate with the butter. do not boil! cool slightly. whisk the eggs and egg yolks in medium bowl. whisk in the powdered sugar, melted chocolate and flour. pour into prepared ramekins, dividing equally. place ramekins on baking sheet (can be made several hours ahead. just cover and chill until ready to bake). preheat oven to 450* bake cakes for 10-12 minutes, until edges are cooked but center is soft. remove from oven, while still warm run a small knife around cakes to loosen, turn out onto serving platters, place topside up. serve with icecream of choice, fruit and powdered sugar. serves 8. *you can also make these in a muffin tin to make 12. if you do this decrease the cooking time to 8-9 minutes.

i like to puree raspberries (without adding sugar) and cool. you can also make hot fudge if you don't like fruit. (to make hot fudge, melt 1 stick of butter, 1 can of sweetened condensed milk, 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips. do not boil!) also a nice serving of whipping cream! these are so fun to make. i loved them. they are even good cold. i hope you all like it...enjoy!
