This is the original recipe for this delicious cake from Mortons Steak House. This is from America's Secret Recipes cookbook. Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus more for the |
souffle cups |
granulated sugar |
12 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped |
8 large egg yolks, plus 7 large eggs |
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar |
1/4 cup all-purpose flour |
18 fresh raspberries |
6 scoops vanilla ice cream |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350F.
2. Generously butter six 6-ounce souffle
3. cups and sprinkle each with granulated sugar. Tap out the excess
4. sugar.
5. In the top of a double boiler set over barely simmering water,
6. melt the butter and chocolate together. Remove the top of the
7. double boiler pan from the heat.
8. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk

11. pour the melted chocolate into the bowl and mix for about 2 minutes
12. longer.
13. Put the confectioners' sugar and flour in a fine-mesh sieve and
14. sprinkle into the chocolate mixture. With the mixer on medium
