Chocolate Decadence With Warm Raspberry Sauce image

Calling all chocoholics--this is your dessert! Add raspberry sauce and you're in heaven! This is definitely not for the calorie counters, but everyone needs an indulgence now and then! Originally from a local restaurant in Houston called Ouisie's Table--everything I've ever ordered there has been WONDERFUL. To keep the whipped cream stabilized, I always add about 1/2 t. unflavored gelatin to the cream before I whip it. Prep time does not include "setting up" time.

Time 1h10m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup water
1 cup sugar, divided
3 cups coarsely chopped good quality semisweet chocolate
1 1/4 cups unsweetened butter, cut into pieces, plus additional butter as needed
6 eggs
1 cup heavy cream (whipping)
2 tablespoons sugar
2 pints fresh raspberries
1/2 cup sugar
2 cups water

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • Line a springform pan with parchment or wax paper and brush with melted butter.
  • Wrap bottom and sides of pan in aluminum foil to prevent leaks.
  • Place springform pan in a larger pan.
  • In a medium saucepan over high heat, bring water and 2/3 cup sugar to a boil; remove from heat.
  • Add chocolate and butter; stir to melt (consistency should be smooth; add a little melted butter if necessary).
  • Set aside and allow to cool.
  • With electric mixer, whip eggs and remaining 1/3 cup sugar at high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  • Gently fold chocolate mixture into eggs.
  • Spoon batter into prepared pan.
  • Pour very hot water into larger pan to come halfway up side of springform pan.
  • Bake for 40 minutes or until the top feels firm; set aside and cool 4 to 6 hours.
  • To unmold cake, gently heat bottom of springform pan over a small flame or stove top.
  • Cut around the edges; remove sides of pan.
  • Invert onto a serving plate.
  • Gently remove pan bottom and parchment.
  • With electric mixer, whip cream and 2 tablespoons sugar to a thick, frosting-like consistency; spread or pipe on cake.
  • For the warm raspberry sauce, combine the berries, 1/2 cup sugar and water to a boil.
  • Turn down temperature; cook 20 minutes over very low heat.
  • Purée in blender and strain mixture through a fine sieve to remove seeds, if desired.
  • To serve, cut cake into slices and place a slice on a dessert plate.
  • Drizzle top and plates with the warm sauce.

The recipe was easy to follow, but the dessert didn't turn out as I expected. It was a bit dry and the sauce was too tart.

This dessert is so rich, a little goes a long way. I served it with fresh berries and whipped cream, which helped to lighten it up a bit.
