ingredients
- 8 ounces dark chocolate
- 2 ounces bittersweet chocolate (chopped)
- 3⁄4 cup unsalted butter
- 4 large eggs, separated
- 4 ounces sugar
- 1⁄3 cup flour
-
Raspberry Ganache
- 8 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
- 3⁄4 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Chambord raspberry liquor
-
Raspberry Sauce
- 2 tablespoons Chambord raspberry liquor
- 2 pints raspberries or 2 pints berries, preserves melted in microwave oven
directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Butter and flour a 10-inch round cake pan.
- For the cake: Melt the chocolate and butter in a double boiler.
- Set aside to cool.
- Beat the egg yolks (equaling 1/3 cup)until light and fluffy.
- Slowly add the sugar and continue beating until mixture is pale yellow.
- Fold in the melted chocolate.
- Sift the flour over the chocolate mixture until it just disappears.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites (equaling 3/4 cup)until soft peaks form.
- Gently fold egg whites into the chocolate mixture in 2 parts.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and tap on the counter to remove air bubbles.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes.
- For the ganache: Place the chopped chocolate in a mixing bowl.
- Place the cream in a saucepan and bring to a boil.
- Add the hot cream to the chocolate and stir until all lumps are gone; then stir in Chambord.
- Let the ganache stand until it reaches room temperature, then pour it over the cooled cake and spread with a spatula Raspberry Sauce: In blender puree rasperries and Chambord.
- You can strain, but I like the seeds. You can use preserves: just melt in micro and add Chambord is what I did in these pictures because the berries were $5.00 a pint!
- Pour Sauce on each plate and top with cake.
- You can garnish with my Chocolate Grand marnier covered strawberries! Or any berries you desire.

This is the third time I have made this cake. It is one of the most delicious cakes I have ever tried. No problems with it being dry. I even changed the chocolate ratio (ran out of brick chocolate and had to fill in with unsweetened cocoa powder and sugar) it still turned out wonderful!

I made this for my boyfriend and I for Valentines day... It turned out really tasty..It was almost like a thick piece of fudge or a brownie... I used raspberry jam and the liquor for the sauce and served it with whipped cream... very yummy! though I had to cook it almost 20 minutes extra.
