How to Make Fudgy Chocolate Raspberry Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x9x2 inch baking pan with foil, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
- Butter the foil and dust lightly with flour.
- In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the chocolate and butter together until smooth. Stir in the raspberry jam until melted and combined. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the sugar and eggs until the mixture is thick and pale, about 6 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder. Gradually add to the egg mixture, folding gently until just combined.
- Carefully fold in the cooled chocolate mixture until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached. The top should be slightly crusty and cracked.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Gently press down any raised edges to create a level surface. Cool completely in the pan.
- Invert the cake onto a platter, carefully peeling off the foil.
- Trim 1/2 inch off each edge of the cake.
- For the glaze: In a small saucepan over medium heat, stir together the heavy cream and raspberry jam until the jam melts completely. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat.
- Add the chopped chocolate and stir until melted and smooth.
- Let the glaze stand until cool but still spreadable, about 15 minutes.
- Spread the glaze evenly over the cooled cake.
- Immediately arrange the fresh raspberries over the glaze.
- Chill for at least 10 minutes, or until the glaze sets.
- These bars can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and keep chilled until ready to serve. Cut into 12 pieces.
