35 15 50

Ingredients

16 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
2/3 cup butter
5 eggs
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (amount is correct)
RASPBERRY SAUCE:
2 cups fresh or frozen raspberries, whole, unsweetened
1-3/4 cups water
1/4 cup sugar
4 teaspoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon water
Whipped cream
Whole, fresh raspberries to garnish

Directions

Line bottom of a 9-in. springform pan with parchment paper; set aside.
Place chocolate and butter in top of double boiler. Bring water to boil; reduce heat and stir chocolate until melted.
In a large bowl, beat eggs for 2 minutes. Slowly add chocolate mixture to eggs, beating at medium speed about 10 minutes. Blend in sugar and flour just until mixed. Pour into prepared pan. Bake at 400° for 15 minutes (cake will not be set in the middle). Chill.
For the sauce, combine raspberries, 1-3/4 cups water and sugar in a saucepan. Bring to boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes. Put through sieve; discard the seeds. Add water if needed to make 2 cups juice.
Combine cornstarch and 1 tablespoon water in small bowl; stir until smooth. Add cornstarch mixture to raspberry mixture. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a boil; cook and stir 1 minute more. Remove from heat; cool.
To serve, spoon about 2 tablespoons sauce on each dessert plate; place a thin wedge of chocolate dessert on sauce. Garnish with whipped cream and reserved raspberries. Yield: 16-20 servings (2 cups sauce).
