CHOCOLATE PECAN TORTE WITH RASPBERRY CREAM & CHOCOLATE GLAZE
Chocoholics rejoice! This rich dessert is all-out decadent, while looking oh so elegant. Sure to impress! Easy to make, but you need to allow for some chilling/cooling time (not included in times above). Can substitute strawberries for raspberries. In fact, put some chocolate covered strawberries on top for a really nice touch. Recipe is from the one of those supermarket aisle mini cookbooks called Better Homes and Gardens Ultimate Chocolate Desserts.

Steps:
- TORTE:.
- Preheat oven to 375°F Grease three 9 inch round cake pans and line bottoms with greased parchment or waxed paper for easy removal. (Springforms work fine too, but aren't necessary.).
- Beat butter for 30 seconds. Add sugar and vanilla and beat until combined. Add eggs one at a time.
- Stir in melted chocolate.
- Fold in pecans. (Pecans should be really finely chopped, almost like pecan meal. Remember, this is what's replacing the flour. A food processor does this in 30 seconds. By hand you'll be chopping a lot.).
- Pour into prepared pans and bake for 22 minutes or until toothpick inserted near centers comes out fudgy but not wet.
- Cool on racks for 10 minutes. Remove from pans, remove parchment and cool completely on racks.
- RASPBERRY/STRAWBERRY CREAM FILLING:.
- Beat 1 cup powdered sugar with 2/3 cup softened butter until fluffy.
- Beat in 1/3 cup preserves.
- DOUBLE CHOCOLATE GLAZE:.
- In medium saucepan over low heat, combine 3 ounces chocolate chips and 1/3 c butter. Remove from heat when melted and stir in 2/3 cup sugar, 1/2 cup cocoa powder and 1/4 cup water. May need to reheat it until sugar is dissolved and glaze is smooth. (Taste it periodically -- I know, tough duty -- to check that there are no sugar crystals. You want it to be smoooooth!).
- Cool until it thickens slightly but is still pourable.
- ASSEMBLY:.
- Assemble torte layers with raspberry filling in between. Cover and chill for 8-24 hours.
- Spread glaze over top of torte, allowing some to drizzle down the sides. Arrange berries on top. Cover and chill for 1-24 hours.
- Enjoy!

Separate eggs and in a large bowl with an electric mixer beat yolks until pale yellow. Gradually add sugar, beating until thick and pale, and fold in pecan mixture gently but thoroughly. In another bowl with cleaned beaters beat whites until they hold stiff peaks. Stir about one fourth whites into pecan mixture to lighten and fold in remaining whites gently but thoroughly.

- In a medium bowl with cleaned beaters beat cream with zest until it just holds stiff peaks.
- Arrange 1 cake layer, top side up, on a serving plate and spread filling evenly onto layer. Put remaining layer, bottom side up, on filling.

MEXICAN CHOCOLATE TORTE
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325°F. Butter an 8 1/2-inch springform pan and line it with a round of wax paper. Butter the paper and dust the pan with flour, knocking out the excess. In a food processor blend together the almonds, the brown sugar, the cinnamon, and the salt until the almonds are ground fine, add the chocolate, and blend the mixture until the chocolate is ground fine. Add the egg yolks and the vanilla, blend the mixture until it is combined well (it will be very thick), and transfer it to a bowl. In another bowl with an electric mixture beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until they hold soft peaks, beat in the granulated sugar gradually, and beat the meringue until it just holds stiff peaks. Whisk about one third of the meringue into the chocolate mixture to lighten it and fold in the remaining meringue gently but thoroughly. Pour the batter into the pan, smoothing the top, and bake the torte in the middle of the oven for 45 to 55 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean. Let the torte cool in the pan on a rack for 5 minutes, run a thin knife around the edge, and remove the side of the pan. Invert the torte onto the rack, discarding the wax paper, and let it cool.
- Make the glaze:
- In a metal bowl set over barely simmering water combine the chocolate, the butter, the cream, and the corn syrup, stir the mixture until it is smooth, and let the glaze cool until it is just lukewarm.
- Set the torte on the rack over wax paper and pour the glaze over it, smoothing the glaze with a spatula and letting the excess drip down the side.
- Make the icing:
- In a bowl whisk together the confectioners' sugar and 1 teaspoon of the milk and add enough of the remaining milk, drop by drop, to form a thick icing.
- Transfer the icing to a small pastry bag fitted with a 1/8-inch plain tip and pipe it decoratively on the torte. Transfer the torte to a serving plate and let it stand for 2 hours, or until the glaze is set.
