Step by step recipe
Stage 1 - 10 min.
Prepare your moulds: you can use either pastry rings, or silicon moulds.
In either case, cut out strips of cooking parchment which are 1 cm or 0.5 inch deeper than your moulds/rings.

Stage 2 - 10 min.
Place a paper strip around the inside or each ring or mould. If they are rings (bottomless) stand them on another square of cooking parchment.
Preheat oven at 180°C or 356°F.
Preheat oven at 180°C or 356°F.
Stage 3 - 5 min.
Chop 80 g dark chocolate with a knife, or cut in small pieces.
Stage 4 - 10 min.
Stage 5 - 3 min.
Stage 6 - 5 min.
Beat together for around 4 or 5 minutes...
Stage 7
... until the mixture forms "ribbons", i.e. which while pouring it runs rather like a flat ribbon.
Stage 9 - 2 min.
Mix well.
Stage 10 - 2 min.
Pour onto this mixture 5 or 6 tablespoons of beaten egg.
Stage 11 - 2 min.
Mix well.
Stage 12 - 2 min.
Then pour the whole into the remaining beaten eggs.
Stage 13 - 3 min.
Mix well the mixture resembles chocolate mousse.
Stage 14 - 5 min.
Pour mixture into the moulds to about ¾ the depth, and place 3 raspberries on top.
Stage 15 - 9 min.
Put in the oven for 8 to 9 minutes.
Stage 16 - 5 min.
Important: the whole point of this recipe is that the cake should only be half cooked, if not it's just a traditional chocolate cake.
At the end of the 9 minutes, tap the top of the cake, if it's a little bit crusty, it's done: take out of the oven, because it will continue cooking a little while afterwards.
The cakes can be turned out as soon as you can touch them.

Stage 17 - 5 min.
Serve on a plate, sprinkled with a little icing sugar, surrounded by raspberry coulis and decorated with mint leaves.
Remarks
You can replace raspberries with strawberries, or more surprisingly by blackcurrants.
If you do not have a coulis, you can quickly prepare a "mash of fruits" by mixing and crushing the fruits (raspberries, cut in small pieces, wild strawberries, currants...) summarily with a fork.

Usually to make fruit jellies or (fruit "paste"), it's like jam but you need to cook fruit pulp and sugar much longer. Unfortunately, this long cooking is bad for both vitamins and flavour.
