Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz (250 grams) bittersweet chocolate, chopped finely
  • 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) raspberry jam, without seeds
  • 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) raspberry cocktail concentrate, thawed and not diluted
  • 1 –1/4 oz (7 grams) packet of plain gelatin
  • 1 and 1/2 cups (375 milliliters) heavy cream (35%)

  • Two 9-inch (23 centimeters) round chocolate cake layers
  • 2 cups (500 milliliters) fresh raspberries
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish
  • Confectioners’ sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or microwave until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
  2. Combine raspberry jam and raspberry cocktail concentrate in a small bowl. Sprinkle gelatin over and let it stand for 5 minutes.
  3. Heat the raspberry mixture gently to dissolve gelatin, then let it cool slightly.
  4. Whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gradually add melted chocolate, raspberry mixture, optional liqueur, and vanilla extract.
  5. On a serving platter, place one chocolate cake layer and spread a thin layer of the chocolate-raspberry mixture over it.
  6. Arrange fresh raspberries over the layer of cream.
  7. Place the second cake layer on top of the raspberries and press gently.
  8. Frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining chocolate-raspberry mixture.
  9. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and dust with confectioners’ sugar before serving.

Notes

Make sure to let the chocolate cool before adding to the cream to prevent curdling. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
