Instructions
| Time | Steps |
|---|---|
| 24 hours before | Cut a circle of parchment paper to fit an 8-inch round cake pan. |
| – | Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. |
| – | Combine chocolate and butter in the top of a double boiler. |
| – | Set it over gently simmering water and stir until melted and smooth. |
| – | Remove from heat and transfer to a bowl, setting it aside. |
| – | Wipe out the top of the double boiler for later use. |
| – | Combine eggs and sugar in the top of the double boiler. |
| – | Set it over gently simmering water and whisk constantly until sugar is dissolved and the mixture darkens, barely warm to the touch. |
| – | Remove from heat and beat at high speed with an electric mixer until eggs have tripled in volume, reaching the consistency of lightly whipped cream (about 5 to 10 minutes). |
| – | Gently fold in the flour. |
| – | Carefully stir 1/3 of the egg mixture into the melted chocolate to loosen it, then fold the chocolate into the remaining egg mixture until thoroughly combined. |
| – | Turn the mixture into the prepared pan. |
| – | Bake until the cake is soft in the center but crusty on top, approximately 15 minutes. |
| – | Let the cake cool completely in the pan, then freeze it overnight. (The cake can be kept in the freezer for up to one month before serving.) |
| 1 hour before serving | Whip the cream with confectioners’ sugar and vanilla until stiff. |
| – | Invert the cake onto a serving platter. (Spinning the pan briefly over high heat will help loosen the cake from the pan.) |
| – | Spread 2/3 of the whipped cream over the top of the cake. |
| – | Mound chocolate curls in the center. |
| – | Pipe rosettes around the edge of the cake using the remaining whipped cream. |
| – | Refrigerate until about 15 minutes before serving. |
| – | Pass raspberry puree separately. |
