(Plus, the mixture of strawberries, blueberries + fresh whipped cream and powdered sugar makes this a perfect patriotic dessert for the summer holidays:)

Recipe:

Ingredients:

3, 10 oz. packs of frozen raspberries in syrup, thawed (I didn't follow this step in this image, but I highly recommend it)

12 oz. semisweet chocolate, chopped

4 oz. unsweetened chocolate, chopped

1 lb. (4 sticks) unsalted butter, diced

1 cup cold pressed coffee, espresso or 1 tbsp. instant espresso powder in 1 cup of water

1 cup, packed golden brown sugar

8 large eggs, beaten

Additional to serve:

fresh raspberries +/or strawberries

fresh whipped cream

powdered sugar

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 350

2. Puree raspberries and syrup in batches. Strain. Chill.

3. Line bottom of 9 inch x 2 inch cake pan with parchment. Or set up cup cake pans with liners

4. Set up all of your ingredients; chop chocolate, dice butter and keep chilled, beat eggs, pack brown sugar etc.

5. Bring butter, espresso, and brown sugar to boil in a medium saucepan; stir to dissolve sugar.

6. Add chocolate; whisk until smooth

7. Cool slightly, and whisk in the eggs

8. Pour batter into cake or cupcake pans

9. Set up a water bath and bake cake/cupcakes until they can be pierced with a knife and the knife comes out clean; 45 minutes to one hour.

10. Chill overnight.

11. Serve with raspberry sauce, fresh raspberries/strawberries, fresh whipped cream and powdered sugar.

12. You are welcome!
** I recommend making these in cupcake holders using wrappers; the cakes are super sticky/will stick to your cake pan and serving platter. If you use a cake pan, make sure you use parchment paper and transfer directly after you remove it from the oven. Once it cools, it is like glue.

Happy Fourth of July Everyone!
