Ingredients
Warm Cake:
- 3 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 3 egg whites
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Butter and flour 4 (4-ounce) ramekins. Combine chocolate and butter in a double boiler and melt. Stir in cocoa powder. In a bowl beat egg whites on medium speed until soft peaks form. Increase speed to high and gradually add sugar. Beat whites until stiff and glossy, but not dry. Whisk 1/4 of egg white mixture into chocolate, to temper. Fold in remaining whites. Fill ramekins 2/3 full and bake until top is slightly firm but still soft in the very center, about 6 to 8 minutes.
Mixed berry coulis:
- 1/2 pint raspberries
- 1/2 pint blueberries
- 1/2 pint strawberries
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon framboise, Grand Marnier or orange juice
Combine raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, sugar and lemon juice in a saucepan and heat until fruit is softened. Remove from heat and puree in food processor until smooth. Strain through a sieve and stir in liqueur or orange juice. Chill.
Yield: 4 servings

Oh my! This is easy and delicious! This is better than most restaurant desserts. Not very sweet, but oh so chocolatey! I used strawberries and tiny frozen blueberries (organic and added a little cinnamon and pinch of nutmeg. I didn't make it a smooth "coulis", but used my stick blender to smooth it out "mostly". I also put fresh strawberries on top after pouring the sauce over the cake. If I weren't trying to stay off dairy...I would have put a big dollop of whipped cream on top! I will make this again for sure.

Wow, had a hankering for chocolate cake, saw this recipe and in 20 minutes, i'm eating chocolate cake. Changes - I did not have raspberries on hand. I used a stick blender to puree the fruit, but i did not strain it.

I made this for Superbowl and it was a smash hit! Very simple and easy to double. The only thing I did different was the "coulis" I actually didn't puree it and added the liqueur when cooking. I spooned it over the cakes. Very good.
