Directions
1.
Heat oven to 425 degrees F. Grease and flour six 6-ounce ramekins or custard cups.
2.
In small saucepan, melt butter and chocolate over medium heat, stirring until smooth. Let cool slightly.
3.
In medium-size bowl, beat sugar and egg yolks with mixer about 4 minutes until very light in color. Beat in rum and vanilla until blended. With mixer running, add chocolate mixture in thin stream. Stir gently with wooden spoon until no light streaks remain.
4.
Sift half the flour over the batter; gently fold in. Repeat with remaining flour until blended. Divide evenly among prepared dishes, about 1/2 cup per dish. Place dishes on a small baking sheet.

Run thin metal spatula around top edge of each dish. Gently tap edges of dishes on counter to loosen sides. Top one dish with small dessert plate; quickly invert and rap on counter to release the cake from the dish onto plate. Repeat with remaining cakes.

Drizzle a little Raspberry Sauce on each plate around the cake. Serve warm with remaining sauce on the side. Raspberry Sauce: Combine 1 package (10 ounces) frozen raspberries in syrup and 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar in a small food processor or blender. Puree until smooth. Press through sieve to remove solids. Refrigerate sauce until just before serving.

Mini Molten Chocolate Cakes with Mocha Sauce

Some molten-cake recipes call for simply underbaking the batter so the middles stay lava-like, but mini cakes get done so quickly it's best to give them a filling that won't set up. These rich, mocha-flavored morsels are guaranteed to stay moist and gooey, owing to a simple mocha ganache in the middle. Serve the cakes with a scoop of low-fat coffee ice cream and garnish with a chocolate-covered espresso bean, if desired.
