Dark Molten Chocolate Cakes

This a recipe that I got from a Kraft mailer of all places, but it has became a favorite for me. I use Guitard dark chocolate instead of baking bittersweet because I happen to have five pounds of it on hand.

1 cup chopped dark chocolate (or Bittersweet Baking Chocolate)
10 Tbsp. butter
1-1/2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup flour
3 whole eggs
3 egg yolks

PREHEAT oven to 425°F. Grease six 6-oz. custard cups or souffle dishes. Place on baking sheet.

MICROWAVE chocolate and butter in large microwaveable bowl on MEDIUM (50%) 2 min. or until butter is melted. Stir with wire whisk until chocolate is completely melted. Add sugar and flour; mix well. Add whole eggs and egg yolks; beat until well blended. Divide batter evenly into prepared custard cups.

BAKE 14 to 15 min (start checking at 10 min). or until cakes are firm around the edges but still soft in the centers. Let stand 1 min. Run small knife around cakes to loosen. Carefully invert cakes onto dessert dishes. Sprinkle lightly with additional powdered sugar and garnish with raspberries (or whipped cream, ice cream, etc...), if desired. Cut in half (not really, just eat a whole one. This recipe claims to make 12 servings). Serve warm
