Number Of Ingredients 9

7 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate chips
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
2 tablespoons coffee liqueur
3 large eggs, separated
5 tablespoons sugar, white and brown combo as desired (divided)
5 ounces Glaze: bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate chips
2 tablespoons Glaze: heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons Glaze: unsalted butter
4 ounces fresh raspberries

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter 6-inch-diameter springform pan with 2 3/4-inch-high sides. Line bottom of pan with parchment paper. Butter paper.
  • Stir chocolate, butter, coffee liqueur, and vanilla in heavy saucepan over low heat until melted and smooth. Cool to lukewarm.
  • Using electric mixer, beat egg yolks and 2T sugar in large bowl until mixture is very thick and pale, about 3 minutes.
  • Transfer egg mixture to new bowl. Fold lukewarm chocolate mixture into egg yolk mixture.
  • Using clean dry beaters, beat egg whites in another large bowl until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining 3T sugar, beating until medium-firm peaks form.
  • Fold whites gently into chocolate mixture in 3 additions. Pour batter into prepared pan.
  • Bake cake until top is puffed and cracked and tester inserted into center comes out with some moist crumbs attached, about 30 minutes.
  • Cool cake in pan on rack for 5 minutes (cake will fall). Gently push on cake edges to initially loosen.
  • Let cool completely, ~30min.
  • Gently press down crusty top to make evenly thick cake. Using small knife, cut around pan sides to loosen cake. Remove pan sides. Place 6-inch-diameter tart pan bottom, cardboard, or plate round atop cake. Flip cake onto tart pan bottom. Peel off parchment paper.
  • Glaze: while cake is cooling, combine chocolate, butter and cream over heat until just melted. Let cool for 30 minutes.
  • Glaze: spread onto cool cake, then refrigerate to set. (Can glaze in two phases for better finish if desired).
  • Top glazed cake with washed fresh raspberries.
