JAM-FILLED CAKE WITH CHOCOLATE GLAZE

Steps:

• Make cake: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour a 9-inch round cake pan (2 inches deep). In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat eggs and sugar on high until pale and fluffy, 5 minutes. In a small saucepan, bring milk and butter to a simmer over medium. With mixer on medium, gradually add flour mixture to egg mixture and beat just until combined. With mixer on low, add milk mixture in a steady stream and beat until combined. Fold in vanilla.
• Pour batter into pan. Bake until top is light golden and a toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool in pan on a wire rack, 10 minutes. Run a knife around edge of pan; turn cake out onto rack to cool completely (top side up), 30 minutes.
• With a serrated knife, trim top of cake to make it level, then split cake in half horizontally. Place bottom layer on a cake plate or serving platter and spread jam evenly on top with an offset spatula. Top with second layer.
• Make glaze: Place chocolate and corn syrup in a heatproof medium bowl. In a small saucepan, bring cream to a boil. Immediately pour over chocolate and let sit 2 minutes. Stir until mixture is smooth. Pour glaze on cake and spread with offset spatula so it drips down sides. Refrigerate until glaze is set, 45 minutes (or up to 2 hours). To serve, arrange cream puffs (if using) on top of cake.

GLAZED RASPBERRY CRUMB CAKE

Steps:

• Make the cake: Preheat the oven to 350˚ F. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and line with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the long sides.
• Whisk the flour, baking powder, ginger, salt, baking soda and nutmeg in a medium bowl. Beat the butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl in between, and beat until combined. Mix in the vanilla. Reduce the mixer speed to low; add the flour mixture in 3 additions, alternating with the sour cream, beginning and ending with the flour. Beat on high speed for a few seconds just until smooth. Spread the batter in the baking dish.
• Arrange the raspberries evenly over the batter, pressing them in. Dollop the jam in the empty spaces, then gently smooth with a spoon so the surface is evenly covered with jam and raspberries.
• Make the crumb topping: Stir the brown sugar, flour, oats, ginger and salt in a medium bowl. Add the butter and work it in with your fingers to form a sandy mixture with small to medium clumps. Sprinkle evenly over the raspberry layer. Bake until puffed and set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few crumbs and a little bit of jam, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Transfer to a rack and let cool completely, at least 1 hour. Remove from the pan and cut into 12 squares.
• Make the glaze: Put the confectioners' sugar in a medium bowl; add the lemon juice, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the glaze is thin enough to drizzle. Drizzle over the cake and let set.

CHOCOLATE RASPBERRY GANACHE CAKE

Steps:

• Make génoise:
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter an 9-inch round cake pan (about 2 inches deep) and line bottom with a round of parchment paper or foil.
• In a small bowl whisk together cocoa powder, flour, cornstarch, and baking soda.
• In a metal bowl whisk together whole eggs, yolk, sugar, and salt until combined. Set mixture over a saucepan of simmering water and continue to whisk until lukewarm. Remove bowl from heat and with an electric mixer beat mixture at high speed until it has cooled and doubled in volume.
• Sift one third cocoa mixture over egg mixture and fold in. Sift and fold in remaining cocoa mixture, half at a time, in same manner. Pour batter into pan and smooth top. Bake génoise in middle of oven for 30 minutes, or until it is firm to the touch and pulls away slightly from side of pan. Invert génoise onto a rack and immediately invert onto another rack to cool right side up. Génoise may be wrapped in plastic wrap and chilled 1 week or frozen 1 month. Thaw génoise before assembling cake.
• Make syrup:
• In a small saucepan bring water and sugar to a boil over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally until sugar is dissolved. Cool syrup and stir in liqueur. Syrup may be made 1 week ahead and chilled, covered.
• Make ganache:
• In a saucepan bring cream, butter, and corn syrup to a boil over moderate heat and remove pan from heat. Add chocolate, swirling pan to submerge chocolate in hot mixture, and let stand 3 minutes. Whisk ganache until smooth and transfer to a bowl. Chill ganache, covered, at least 2 hours and up to 3 days.
• Assemble cake:
• Let ganache stand at room temperature until slightly softened and pliable but still cool. With a whisk or electric mixer beat ganache just until light and fluffy.
• Remove parchment paper from génoise and with a long serrated knife cut cake horizontally into 3 rounds.
• Invert top layer of génoise onto a springform pan base or a 9-inch cardboard round and brush with one third syrup. Spread layer with half of jam and spread one third ganache over jam. Top ganache with middle layer of génoise and repeat layering of syrup, jam, and ganache. Top with third layer of génoise, smooth-side up, and brush with remaining syrup. Spread top and side of cake with remaining ganache. Chill cake until ganache is set, about 30 minutes. Cake may be assembled ahead, wrapped in plastic wrap, and chilled 5 days or frozen 1 month. Thaw cake before proceeding.
• Make glaze:
• In a saucepan bring cream to a boil and remove pan from heat. Add chocolate, swirling pan to submerge chocolate in hot cream, and let stand 2 minutes. Whisk glaze until smooth and pour through a sieve set over a bowl. Cool glaze to room temperature.
• With cake on a rack set over a pan (to catch drips) pour glaze through sieve onto center of cake. Quickly spread glaze evenly over top and sides of cake with a long, narrow, metal spatula. Let cake stand until glaze is set, about 5 minutes.
• Garnish cake with raspberries and keep at cool room temperature until ready to serve.
