Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 4 oz dark chocolate chips with 3 tbsp unsalted butter in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth and glossy.
  2. Step 2: Whisk together 1/3 cup granulated sugar and 1 large egg in a medium bowl until pale and fluffy; then fold in the melted chocolate mixture.
  3. Step 3: Sift 1/4 cup all-purpose flour into the batter and gently fold until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  4. Step 4: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and grease lightly with butter. Spoon two equal portions of batter into the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until the edges are set and a crust forms, flipping carefully.
  5. Step 5: Meanwhile, combine 1 cup fresh raspberries, 1/4 cup water, and 1 tsp lemon juice in a small saucepan. Simmer over medium-low heat for 5 minutes, mashing the raspberries gently with a fork until the sauce thickens slightly.
  6. Step 6: Serve the warm chocolate fudge cakes drizzled with the raspberry sauce and a dusting of 1 tbsp powdered sugar for a visually appealing and flavorful dessert.
