    Recipe



    Very rich and best for a large Seder crowd. Recipe can be halved
    easily and made in a 8 inch spring-form pan.

    Preheat oven to 350 F. Line bottom of a 10 inch springform pan with
    parchment paper.

    In a heavy saucepan over low heat, or using a double boiler, mix
    butter or margarine and cola and heat through. Remove from stove and
    add chocolate, stirring to melt. Cool chocolate mixture very well
    before using.

    Meanwhile, in the bowl of an electric mixer, whip the eggs with sugar
    and vanilla sugar for 10 minutes on high speed. Whisk in cooled,
    melted chocolate into egg mixture until thoroughly incorporated
    (mixture will deflate but that's OK). Stir in raspberry preserves.

    Place spring-form pan on a cookie sheet (in case there are drips or
    leaks) in oven and reduce heat to 325 F. Bake 55-60 minutes until
    cake is done. Cake is baked when top has a slight crust and seems
    set. Cake may rise and fall but that is fine.

    Refrigerate several hours. Dust with cocoa and garnish with fresh
    raspberries.

    Glaze: Melt chocolate chips with butter or margarine in a double
    boiler. Stir to melt evenly. Cool, then pour over chilled cake before
    serving and distribute some fresh raspberries on top when glaze sets.

    14-20 servings.
