Recipe Introduction


The beauty of this cake is that the frosting is baked in the same pan with the batter.
When the cake is inverted onto a cake plate a few minutes after baking, it is bathed, miraculously, with frosting.




List of Ingredients




For frosting:
3 ounces fine-quality bittersweet chocolate (not unsweetened)
1/2 cup seedless raspberry jam
1/2 cup heavy cream

For cake batter:
1/2 cup boiling water
1/3 cup plus 2 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder (not Dutch process)
1/4 cup whole milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/3 cup seedless raspberry jam
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1/3 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
Garnish: raspberries


Recipe



Preheat oven to 350 degrees and generously butter a 9-by-2-inch round cake pan.
To make frosting: Chop the chocolate. In a small heavy saucepan bring jam, cream and chocolate to a simmer, stirring occasionally, until smooth. Pour frosting into cake pan. To make cake batter: In a bowl, whisk together the boiling water and cocoa powder until smooth and whisk in milk, vanilla and jam. In a large bowl, with an electric mixer beat together butter and sugars until light and fluffy and add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Into another bowl sift together flour, baking soda and salt and add to egg mixture in batches alternately with cocoa mixture, beginning and ending with flour mixture and beating well after each addition. Pour batter evenly over frosting mixture and bake in middle of oven 30 to 35 minutes, or until a tester inserted into cake comes out clean (the frosting on the bottom will still be liquid). Cool cake slightly in pan on a rack, 10 to 20 minutes. Cake may be made 1 day ahead, cooled completely in pan and left in pan, covered, at room temperature. Reheat cake, uncovered, at 350 degrees 10 to 15 minutes. Run a thin knife around edge of pan and twist pan gently back and forth on a flat surface to loosen cake. Invert a cake plate with a slight lip over cake pan and, holding pan and plate together with both hands, invert cake onto plate. Frosting will cover cake and run onto plate.
Serve cake garnished with raspberries.
