Chocolate Raspberry Torte

Recipe Summary

Preparation time: 2 hours

Number of servings: 12

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup plus 2 tsp unsweetened cocoa
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
• 1 cup fat-free milk
• 1 oz unsweetened chocolate, melted
• 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 4 large egg whites
• 1/4 cup seedless raspberry jam
• 3 pints fresh raspberries
• 1 Tbsp confectioners sugar

Directions

Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat a 9-inch round cake pan with vegetable cooking spray. Coat bottom and sides with 2 tsp cocoa. Sift flour, baking soda, and salt and 1 cup of sugar into a large bowl.

Combine milk and remaining 1/2 cup of cocoa in a small saucepan. Whisk over medium heat for 5 minutes until mixture thickens. Remove from heat, and whisk in melted chocolate and vanilla until smooth. Whisk cocoa mixture into dry ingredients until blended.

Beat egg whites in a large mixer bowl on medium speed until foamy. Gradually beat in remaining 1/4 cup of granulated sugar. Gradually increase speed to medium-high, and beat to stiff peaks. Gently fold 1/3 of egg whites into chocolate mixture with a rubber spatula. Then, fold in remaining whites just until smooth.

Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake 40 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack 15 minutes. Invert cake onto a plate; invert again onto wire rack and cool completely.

Split cake into two layers. Remove top layer; place bottom layer on serving plate. Spread jam over bottom layer; place top layer over jam, cut side down.

Garnish with 1/2 cup fresh raspberries per serving. Sift with confectioner’s sugar over top.
