FLOURLESS CHOCOLATE ESPRESSO CAKE WITH RASPBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• FOR SAUCE:
• Working in batches, puree raspberries and syrup in processor. Strain puree into medium bowl. Chill. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Keep chilled.)
• FOR CAKE:
• Preheat oven to 350 °F. Line bottom of 9-inch-diameter cake pan with 2-inch-high sides with parchment. Place all chocolate in large bowl. Bring butter, espresso and sugar to boil in medium saucepan, stirring to dissolve sugar. Add to chocolate; whisk until smooth. Cool slightly. Whisk in eggs.
• Pour batter into prepared pan. Place cake pan in roasting pan. Pour enough hot water into roasting pan to come halfway up sides of cake pan. Bake until center of cake is set and tester inserted into center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached, about 1 hour. Remove pan from water. Chill cake overnight.
• Cut around pan sides to loosen cake. Using oven mitts as aid, hold pan bottom over low heat for 15 seconds, warming slightly to release cake. Place platter over pan. Hold pan and platter together tightly and invert. Lift off cake pan; peel off parchment.

FLOURLESS CHOCOLATE RASPBERRY CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F (162 degrees C) and line the bottom of an 8 inch springform pan with parchment paper. Butter the sides of the pan, or coat with non-stick cooking spray, and dust with cacao powder (or cocoa).
• Break the chocolate pieces into small pieces, as uniform in size as possible. Place in a large bowl, add the butter, and microwave in 30 second increments. Stir after each 30 second heating, until all of the chocolate is melted, mixed with the butter, and smooth.
• Beat the eggs and sugar (or honey + cacao powder) using a stand mixer or hand mixer until light and bubbly. The egg mixture will nearly double in volume when beaten. Gently fold the beaten egg mixture into the chocolate a little bit at a time, carefully trying not to burst all of the bubbles. Add in portions of the egg mixture until fully incorporated to the chocolate.
• Mash the fresh raspberries with the back of a spoon, only partially breaking them up. Stir cacao powder in just enough to coat the mashed raspberries, then gently add into the cake mixture. Only stir the raspberries enough that they are distributed throughout the cake batter.
• Transfer to the springform pan and bake at 325 degrees F (162 degrees C) for 40-45 minutes or until the center of the cake is only slightly jiggly but firm to the touch. Allow to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least two hours before serving. Top with more raspberries and confectioners sugar, if desired.

• Either in the top half of a double boiler or in a microwave oven melt the bittersweet chocolate. Pour the chocolate into the bowl of an electric mixer.
• Cut the butter into pieces and beat the butter into the chocolate, 1 piece at a time. Beat in the hot sugar-water. Slowly beat in the eggs, one at a time.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Have a pan larger than the cake pan ready, put the cake pan in the larger pan and fill the pan with boiling water halfway up the sides of the cake pan.
• Bake cake in the water bath at 300 degrees F (150 degrees C) for 45 minutes. The center will still look wet. Chill cake overnight in the pan. To unmold, dip the bottom of the cake pan in hot water for 10 seconds and invert onto a serving plate.
