Zubereitung von Decadent Chocolate Cake On A Bed Of Raspberry Sauce
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch round cake pan.
- Melt 6 ounces (170g) of bittersweet chocolate and 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter in a double boiler or microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, whisk 4 large egg yolks until light and fluffy. Gradually add 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar, beating until pale yellow and thick.
- Gently fold in the cooled melted chocolate mixture.
- Sift in 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour until just combined. Do not overmix.
- In a clean bowl, beat 4 large egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the egg whites into the chocolate batter in two additions.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and tap gently on the counter to release air bubbles.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Let the cake cool completely in the pan before frosting.
- For the Raspberry Sauce: Combine 2 cups (250g) fresh raspberries, 1 tablespoon Chambord (or other liqueur), and 1 tablespoon sugar (optional) in a blender. Puree until smooth. Strain if desired.
- For the Ganache: Place 6 ounces (170g) chopped semi-sweet chocolate in a mixing bowl. Heat 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream in a saucepan until it just boils. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let it sit for a minute. Then, whisk until smooth and glossy.
- Stir in 1 tablespoon Chambord (optional). Let the ganache cool to room temperature.
- Once the cake is completely cool, spread the ganache evenly over the top.
- Spoon the raspberry sauce onto plates. Top with a slice of cake and garnish with fresh berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries etc.) if desired.
