Time 45m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 (1 ounce) semi-sweet chocolate baking squares
6 (1 ounce) unsweetened chocolate squares
7 eggs, separated
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup butter
2 cups white sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
6 (1 ounce) semi-sweet chocolate baking squares
3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
1 (4 ounce) package frozen raspberries, thawed
3 tablespoons seedless raspberry preserves

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300°F Line bottoms of two 9 inch cake pans with waxed paper.
  • To Make Cake: Melt 6 ounces of semisweet chocolate and 6 ounces of unsweetened chocolate in the top of a double boiler, or in a microwave. Cool, and beat in egg yolks.
  • In a large bowl, beat butter or margarine, 1 1/2 cups sugar, and vanilla until light and fluffy. Add chocolate mixture, and continue beating until smooth. Stir in flour until just combined.
  • In another bowl, beat egg whites until foamy. Gradually beat in ½ cup sugar, and continue beating until the whites hold soft peaks. Fold whites into chocolate batter, in three additions. Pour batter into prepared pans, and smooth tops.
  • Bake until a toothpick stuck into the centers of the cakes comes out with moist crumbs, about 45 minutes. Cool in pans.
  • To Make Frosting: In a saucepan, bring cream just to a boil. Chop 6 ounces semisweet chocolate, and stir into the cream. Remove saucepan from heat, and continue stirring until smooth. Pour frosting into bowl, and press sheet of plastic wrap directly against surface of chocolate to prevent formation of a skin. Refrigerate until thick enough to spread.
  • To Make Filling: Drain the thawed raspberries, if necessary, and combine with the jam. Sandwich the cake layers with raspberry filling. Spread top and sides with chocolate frosting.

The cake was missing something. I think it needed more flavor. I would recommend adding some spices or extracts next time.

The cake was dense and dry. I think I overbaked it. I would recommend checking the cake a few minutes early next time.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved it. I would recommend using less sugar next time.

I'm not a huge fan of chocolate cake, but this one was really good. The raspberry filling added a nice tartness that balanced out the sweetness of the chocolate.
