--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  4      oz            Semi-sweet chocolate --
                       - coarsely chopped
    3/4  c             Unsalted butter -- melted &
                       - cooled
  1 1/4  c             Cake flour -- sifted
    1/2  ts            Baking powder

Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter 30 madeleine molds. Melt chocolate in
top of double boiler set over hot water. Stir in butter. Mix together
flour, baking powder, and salt. Beat eggs in large bowl of electric
mixer until light and lemon colored; add vanilla. Gradually add
sugar, beating constantly at high speed 5 minutes. Reduce speed to
medium and beat until mixture has quadrupled in volume, about
5 minutes. Gently fold in flour mixture, then chocolate. Place 1 tb
batter in center of each mold. Bake exactly 12 minutes. (Madeleines
should be moist and fudgy in center.) Cool on rack. Dust with
powdered sugar before serving. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Store in
airtight container.)
