Ingredients
Chocolate Whipped Cream
4 oz (115 g) milk chocolate, chopped
3/4 cup (180 ml) 35% whipping cream
Raspberry Cream
1 3/4 cups (235 g) fresh raspberries
3 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp (15 ml) lemon juice
2 tsp cornstarch
1 tbsp (15 ml) cold water
1 tbsp cold unsalted butter
Cake
1/2 cup (75 g) unbleached all-purpose flour
3 tbsp cocoa powder, sifted
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 egg
1/2 cup (105 g) sugar
2 tbsp (30 ml) vegetable oil
1 tsp (5 ml) vanilla
1/4 cup (60 ml) milk
1/2 cup (70 g) fresh raspberries, plus more for
3 tbsp (45 ml) homemade or store-bought salted caramel
Preparation
Chocolate Whipped Cream
Place the chocolate in a bowl.
In a small pot, bring the cream to a boil. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let sit for 1 minute without stirring. Whisk until smooth. Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours. Clean out the pot.
Raspberry Cream
Meanwhile, in the same small pot, bring the raspberries, sugar and lemon juice to a boil. Simmer gently for 5 minutes or until the sugar has dissolved and the raspberries have broken down.
With a hand blender or in a small food processor, purée the raspberry mixture until smooth. Strain through a sieve. Compost the raspberry seeds. Return the purée to the pot.
In a small bowl, dilute the cornstarch in the water. Add the cornstarch mixture to the raspberry purée. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly and scraping the bottom and sides of the pot. Simmer for 1 minute or until thickened. Remove from the heat.
Stir in the butter. Transfer into a bowl. Cover with plastic wrap directly on the surface of the cream and refrigerate for 2 hours or until completely chilled.
Cake
With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Butter the sides of a 6-inch (15 cm) springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
In a bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
In another bowl, whisk together the egg, sugar, oil and vanilla. Add the dry ingredients alternating with the milk and mix until smooth. Delicately fold the raspberries into the batter. Spread the batter out in the prepared pan.
Bake for 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the centre of the cake comes out clean. Let cool for 15 minutes. Unmould and let cool completely on a wire rack.
Assembly
Cut off the rounded top of the cooled cake to make it as flat as possible.
Gently mix the raspberry cream with a spatula until smooth. Using a small offset spatula, cover the top of the cake with the raspberry cream.
Whisk the chocolate whipped cream with an electric mixer until semi-stiff peaks form. Transfer into a pastry bag fitted with a large plain tip. Top the cake with dollops of the whipped cream of varying sizes.
Using a melon baller dipped in warm water and patted dry, make divots in a few of the dollops of whipped cream and fill with salted caramel. Garnish with a few raspberries cut in half. The cake will keep, covered, in the refrigerator for 2 days. Let the cake sit out at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving.
