 16       oz           Ghirardelli Bittersweet
                       - chocolate
 10       tb           Unsalted butter

 Heat oven to 425 . Reserve 1/2 oz of chocolate for
 cake decoration. In heavy saucepan on low heat, melt
 broken chocolate with butter, stirring constantly; set

 until mixture is lukewarm and sugar is dissolved. (Do
 not overcook.) Remove from heat and beat until
 quadrupled and very thick. Blend flour into egg
 mixture; fold into chocolate mixture, a little at a

 cake pan. Bake at 425  for no longer than 15 minutes.
 (Center of cake will be soft.) Cool. Freeze cake
 overnight before removing from pan. Unmold. Cover with
 sweetened whipped cream, if desired. Decorate with
 shaved chocolate. Refrigerate until serving time.
 Serve with raspberry sauce, if desired.
