Chocolate Espresso Torte and Raspberry Sauce Recipe
Directions
TORTE:
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line the outside of the pan with aluminum foil; lightly grease the inside of pan and dust with cocoa powder.
  • In a heavy saucepan, combine butter, espresso, and sugar, stirring frequently until sugar dissolves; bring to a boil.
  • Place the chopped chocolate pieces in a large bowl and add the boiling chocolate mixture; then blend until smooth and chocolate is completely melted. Cool.
  • Add in the eggs, vanilla, and salt; beat until completely blended.
  • Pour into spring-form pan that has the outside sealed from any seepage. Place pan inside a larger pan. Pour about 2 inches of hot water into outside pan.
  • Bake for 60 minutes or until a tooth pick inserted in the center comes out fairly clean and the center of torte is set. Remove from water and cool.
  • Cover cooled cake and refrigerate 12 hours before serving.
RASPBERRY SAUCE:
  • Place frozen or fresh raspberries in a food processor with a steel blade and puree until smooth.
  • Add the corn syrup and liqueur, pulse until blended.
  • Chill and serve over cake.
