-------- ------------ --------------------------------
Cake:
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups cake flour
5 eggs
1 1/4 cups unsalted butter -- (2 1/2 sticks)
10 ounces semisweet chocolate
1/2 cup Chambord (see note)
Ganache:
1 cup whipping cream
1 tablespoon butter
8 ounces semisweet chocolate
12 perfect fresh raspberries -- for garnish
1. To prepare cake: Combine sugar and cake flour in a large mixing bowl.
With an electric mixer at low speed, beat in eggs one at a time until
blended, stopping the mixer and scraping down the sides of the bowl before
adding each egg.
2. Melt butter and chocolate in a double boiler. Add to batter and beat at
medium speed until blended. Turn off mixer and scrape down the sides of the
bowl.
3. Add Chambord. Mix at low speed until combined. Pour batter into a greased
10-inch cake pan.
4. Bake in a preheated 350-degree oven until a toothpick inserted in the
center comes out clean, about 45 to 50 minutes. Let cool completely in pan
on a wire rack.
5. To make ganache: In a large, heavy saucepan, bring cream and butter to a
boil. Remove from heat. Stir in chocolate.
6. Place cake on wire rack over a cookie sheet large enough to hold the
cake. Pour warm ganache over cake. Carefully tip the rack and let the
ganache spill over the edges to coat the cake completely. (Or use a long
icing spatula to push the ganache over the edges.) Let stand for 30 minutes.
7. Lightly press raspberries into the ganache along the top edge of the
cake. Let stand at room temperature for 3 to 4 hours or refrigerate for 2 to
3 hours.
Note: Chambord is a French raspberry liqueur sold at most large liquor
stores.
Makes 14 servings.
