How to Make Pour La France Chocolate Decadence

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch cake pan, or line the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. Melt butter and chocolate together in a double boiler or a heat-safe bowl set over a pan of simmering water, stirring constantly until smooth and melted. Remove from heat.
  3. Add granulated sugar to the melted chocolate mixture and stir until completely dissolved.
  4. Let the chocolate mixture cool slightly to room temperature.
  5. In a separate bowl, beat eggs with an electric mixer until light, fluffy, and pale yellow (about 7 minutes).
  6. Gently fold the cooled chocolate mixture into the whipped eggs in three additions, ensuring not to deflate the eggs.
  7. Gradually fold in the flour until just combined. Do not overmix.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread evenly.
  9. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  10. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. **Prepare Raspberry Sauce:** Combine raspberries, sugar, and liqueur (if using) in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until raspberries have broken down and sauce has thickened slightly (about 5-7 minutes). Strain the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds (optional). Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  12. Once the cake is completely cool, slice and serve. Top each slice with sweetened whipped cream and a spoonful of raspberry sauce.
