CHOCOLATE RASPBERRY BARS



Chocolate Raspberry Bars image

My family loves these rich, sweet bars. The chocolate and raspberry jam go together so well. I make a lot of cookies and bars, but these special treats are my favorite. They're so pretty served on a platter. -Kathy Smedstad, Silverton, Oregon

Yield Makes 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

For cake
10 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, chopped
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1/3 cup seedless raspberry jam
1 cup sugar
5 large eggs
1/3 cup all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
For glaze
1/4 cup whipping cream
1/4 cup seedless raspberry jam
6 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, chopped
2 6-ounce baskets fresh raspberries

Steps:

  • Make cake:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 9x9x2-inch baking pan with foil. Butter foil; dust with flour. Stir chocolate and butter in heavy medium saucepan over low heat until melted and smooth. Add jam and whisk until melted. Cool slightly.
  • Using electric mixer, beat sugar and eggs in large bowl until mixture thickens, about 6 minutes. Sift flour and baking powder over egg mixture and fold in. Gradually fold in chocolate mixture.
  • Pour batter into pan. Bake until top of cake is slightly crusty, begins to crack and tester inserted into center comes out with moist crumbs attached, about 45 minutes. Cool 5 minutes. Gently press down any raised edges of cake to even. Cool in pan. Invert cake onto platter. Peel off foil. Trim 1/2 inch off each edge of cake.
  • Make glaze:
  • Stir cream and jam in heavy small saucepan over medium heat until jam melts; bring to boil. Remove from heat. Add chocolate and stir until melted. Let stand until cool but still spreadable, about 15 minutes.
  • Spread glaze over top of cake. Immediately arrange berries atop glaze. Chill until glaze sets, about 10 minutes. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and keep chilled.)
  • Cut into 12 pieces and serve.
