Steps:
- Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Line the bases of two 23cm cake tins with baking parchment. Melt the chocolate and butter in the microwave; leave to cool. Stir in the vanilla and coffee powder.
- Whizz the almonds in a food processor until finely ground, then add flour and salt, and transfer to a bowl. Whisk the eggs with an electric mixer for 5 mins, until doubled in volume. Slowly add the sugar, whisk for 1 min more. Fold in the cooled chocolate mixture until just combined. Sprinkle over half the flour mixture and fold in, then the other half. The mixture will be rather runny.
- Divide between the two tins and bake for about 15 mins until a skewer comes out with a few crumbs attached - the sponges should be slightly undercooked. Cool in tin, then turn out onto a wire rack.
- Choose the less perfect of the two, then set it on a serving plate. Mash 12 raspberries and stir in the jam. Spread on the base, then top with the other cake.
- For the glaze, bring the cream to the boil, pour it over the chocolate and whisk until smooth. Leave for a few mins until starting to thicken, then spread over the top and sides to cover. Decorate with raspberries. Chill for up to 24 hrs. Remove from fridge 1 hr before serving, dust with icing sugar, and serve with vanilla cream.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Open up the 2 pieces of pie crust dough and lay one down on your work surface. Dip your finger in water and run it around the perimeter of the dough. Place the second piece on top; the water will help them adhere to each other. Roll out the combined dough to a 12-inch circle and press into a 9-inch tart pan. Use a fork to gently prick holes all over the bottom of the crust. With your rolling pin, roll over the top of the tart pan to trim the excess dough. Place a piece of nonstick foil down onto the dough and fill it with dried beans, uncooked rice or pastry beans. Bake until the tart begins to cook and brown slightly, about 20 minutes; remove the foil and bake until a deep golden brown, for an additional 20 minutes. Set aside to cool while making the filling. The crust can also be made 1 day in advance, cooled and then covered in foil for later use.
- 2. Heat the cream, milk and sugar in a medium saucepan over low heat until the sugar is dissolved and the liquid is simmering, about 5 minutes. Add the chocolate, turn off the heat and let stand for 5 minutes. Whisk until the chocolate is thoroughly melted and the mixture is blended. Set aside to cool for 5 minutes. Use a rubber spatula to gently fold the egg into the cooled chocolate mixture.
- 3. Spread the jam over the bottom of the tart. Pour the chocolate mixture into the prepared tart over the jam and bake until the filling is slightly firm but still has a bit of movement in the center, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and place on a rack to cool.
- 4. Dust with cocoa powder and garnish with raspberries. Serve at room temperature or chilled.

Steps:
- Cake: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly coat three 8-by-2-inch round cake pans with cooking spray. Line bottoms with parchment. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt. In another large bowl, beat butter with sugar on high speed until light and fluffy, 3 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in liqueur. Reduce speed to low and add flour mixture in three batches, alternating with buttermilk in two batches. Beat to combine, scraping down sides of bowl as needed. Beat in melted chocolate.
- Divide batter evenly among prepared pans, smoothing tops with an offset spatula. Bake, rotating pans halfway through front to back and top to bottom, until a tester inserted in centers comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Let cakes cool in pans on a wire rack 10 minutes. Run a small sharp knife around edges, then invert onto rack. Remove parchment and let cool completely, about 25 minutes. With a serrated knife, trim tops of cakes so they're level.
- Filling: While cakes are baking, stir together 3 cups raspberries, sugar, salt, and lemon juice in a medium saucepan. Cook over high, stirring frequently and mashing with the back of a spoon, until mixture comes to a boil, 2 minutes. Continue to cook, stirring, until mixture thickens and clings to spoon, 7 to 8 minutes more. (You should have 1 1/3 cups.) Let cool 30 minutes. Stir in 2 cups raspberries, reserving remainder.
- Spread half of filling over one cake. Top with second layer; spread remaining filling over top. Top with final layer, cut-side down. Refrigerate, covered, at least 1 hour and up to overnight. Spread frosting over top and sides of cake. Garnish with remaining raspberries.

CHOCOLATE RASPBERRY MERINGUE TART
Scarlet threads of freeze-dried raspberry powder and streaks of bittersweet chocolate add richness and flair to this fluffy-topped meringue tart. It does take time to make, but many of the steps can be done in advance, and this stunning, intensely fruity confection is well worth planning for. The dough, filling and raspberry powder can be prepared up to five days ahead, then make the meringue just before the tart is baked. It's at its best served on the same day as baking. Store leftovers in a sealed container at room temperature.

Steps:
- Make the tart dough: Place the flour, sugar and salt in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse to combine. Add butter and pulse until a coarse meal forms. Add egg and pulse just until a crumbly dough comes together. If the dough seems dry, drizzle in a teaspoon or two of water. Press dough into a disk, wrap in plastic and chill for at least 1 hour or overnight (or up to 5 days).
- Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface to 3/8-inch thickness (about an 11-inch round). Place dough into a 9-inch tart pan, folding the extra dough in over the edges to build up the sides. Prick bottom of dough all over with a fork; chill in freezer for at least 30 minutes and up to 48 hours. (Cover lightly with plastic wrap if freezing for more than a couple of hours.)
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line the tart crust with foil, and fill with baking weights or dried rice or beans. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove foil and weights and continue to bake until shell is light golden, another 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool.
- Prepare the filling: In a medium saucepan, combine raspberries and sugar over medium heat. Cook, stirring, until berries break down, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove pan from heat, stir in lemon juice and use a fork or wooden spoon to mash raspberries to a purée.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together egg yolks and egg. Slowly add 1/4 cup of hot raspberry purée to egg mixture, whisking constantly. Slowly drizzle the egg-raspberry mixture back into the saucepan with remaining purée, whisking constantly to keep eggs from cooking. Turn the heat to medium-low, and add butter and a pinch of salt to the pan. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens enough to coat a spoon, about 7 to 9 minutes.
- Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing hard on the solids, into a bowl. Allow to stand for 5 minutes, then whisk briefly to smooth.
- Pour raspberry filling into the tart shell. Bake until filling is set (it should jiggle only slightly in the center), about 14 to 22 minutes. Remove tart from oven and increase oven temperature to 400 degrees.
- Start preparing the meringue: Using a blender or food processor, blend the freeze-dried raspberries until you get a fine powder speckled with seeds. (The seeds won't break down so don't even try.) Set aside 1 tablespoon of raspberry powder for garnish. Combine cocoa powder with remaining raspberry powder to use for the meringue.
- Place chocolate in heatproof bowl, and melt in microwave in 10-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth. Set aside. (Or you can melt the chocolate in a pot on the stove over low heat, stirring constantly.)
- Fill a medium pot with 1 inch of water and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. In a large metal bowl, whisk together egg whites, sugar, cream of tartar and salt. Set the mixing bowl with the egg white mixture into the pot above the water, and whisk constantly by hand until sugar dissolves and mixture is warm (160 degrees on an instant thermometer) and has thickened and lightened in color, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove bowl from heat. Using an electric mixer, beat on medium-low speed and gradually increase speed to high, until mixture is thick and fluffy, and stiff peaks form, about 5 to 8 minutes. Be careful not to overbeat.
- Sprinkle raspberry-cocoa mixture on top of meringue. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in mixture 2 to 3 times to halfway incorporate, but remains very streaky. (Do not overmix.) Drizzle melted chocolate into meringue and gently fold until just combined and still streaky. Take care not to deflate the meringue very much. (It will deflate somewhat.)
- Spread the meringue over the hot filling, making sure it meets the edges of the crust. Using a knife or spatula, swirl in a design. Bake until lightly browned, about 7 to 10 minutes.
- Allow to cool completely and sprinkle the top with a little of the reserved raspberry powder. (Save the extra to perk up oatmeal, smoothies and peanut butter sandwiches.)

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Take two 9-inch round baking pans and either line bottoms with parchment paper to prevent sticking or take a shortening stick and grease the pans, then sprinkle with flour.
- Pour milk over chopped white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl; microwave in 30-second intervals until smooth.
- Combine flour, baking soda, salt, and baking powder in a small bowl.
- Beat white sugar and butter together in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy. Gradually blend in melted chocolate mixture and vanilla extract. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add flour mixture alternately with sour cream. Pour evenly into the prepared cake pans.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a wooden toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes; make sure you don't overbake. Cool for 15 minutes; remove cakes from pans. Cool completely in the freezer for about 30 minutes to make them easier to cut the layers.
- Combine heavy cream, raspberries, and sugar for filling in a small mixing bowl; beat until stiff peaks form. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- Beat cream cheese and butter for frosting in a large mixing bowl on medium speed until well blended. Add melted chocolate and vanilla; mix well. Add powdered sugar gradually, beating until light and fluffy after each addition.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before starting, ensure all ingredients are measured, and tools are ready. This will make the baking process smoother and more organized.
- Quality Ingredients: Use high-quality chocolate, butter, eggs, and other ingredients. This will significantly impact the final taste and texture of the torte.
- Precise Measurements: Baking is a precise science. Follow the recipe measurements accurately for the best results. Use a kitchen scale for precise measurements of ingredients, especially flour and chocolate.
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Bring ingredients like butter, eggs, and cream cheese to room temperature before using. This helps them incorporate smoothly into the batter and creates a more consistent texture.
- Folding: When combining delicate ingredients like egg whites or whipped cream, use a folding motion with a spatula. This gently incorporates them without deflating the air, resulting in a lighter and airier texture.
- Baking Time and Temperature: Keep a close eye on the torte while baking. The baking time may vary slightly depending on your oven. Insert a toothpick or skewer into the center; it should come out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
- Chilling: Allow the torte to chill thoroughly before serving. This helps the flavors meld and the texture to set, resulting in a more decadent and refined dessert.
Conclusion:
The light chocolate torte with raspberry filling is a symphony of flavors and textures, combining the richness of chocolate with the tartness of raspberries. By following these tips and the detailed recipe instructions, you can create a stunning dessert that will impress your family and friends. Remember, baking is a journey of experimentation and refinement. Keep practicing, and you'll soon master the art of creating delicious and visually appealing desserts like this light chocolate torte.
