Flourless Chocolate Cake With Raspberries
- 7 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate chips
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- 2 tablespoons coffee liqueur
- 3 large eggs, separated
- 5 tablespoons sugar, white and brown combo as desired (divided)
- 5 ounces Glaze: bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons Glaze: heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons Glaze: unsalted butter
- 4 ounces fresh raspberries
- Preheat oven to 350u0b0F. Butter 6-inch-diameter springform pan with 2 3/4-inch-high sides. Line bottom of pan with parchment paper. Butter paper.
- Stir chocolate, butter, coffee liqueur, and vanilla in heavy saucepan over low heat until melted and smooth. Cool to lukewarm.
- Using electric mixer, beat egg yolks and 2T sugar in large bowl until mixture is very thick and pale, about 3 minutes.
- Transfer egg mixture to new bowl. Fold lukewarm chocolate mixture into egg yolk mixture.
- Using clean dry beaters, beat egg whites in another large bowl until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining 3T sugar, beating until medium-firm peaks form.
- Fold whites gently into chocolate mixture in 3 additions. Pour batter into prepared pan.
- Bake cake until top is puffed and cracked and tester inserted into center comes out with some moist crumbs attached, about 30 minutes.
- Cool cake in pan on rack for 5 minutes (cake will fall). Gently push on cake edges to initially loosen.
- Let cool completely, ~30min.
- Gently press down crusty top to make evenly thick cake. Using small knife, cut around pan sides to loosen cake. Remove pan sides. Place 6-inch-diameter tart pan bottom, cardboard, or plate round atop cake. Flip cake onto tart pan bottom. Peel off parchment paper.
- Glaze: while cake is cooling, combine chocolate, butter and cream over heat until just melted. Let cool for 30 minutes.
- Glaze: spread onto cool cake, then refrigerate to set. (Can glaze in two phases for better finish if desired).
- Top glazed cake with washed fresh raspberries.
