Ingredients

- 1/2 cup water shopping list
- 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter shopping list

- 6 eggs shopping list
- Finishing shopping list
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream shopping list
- 2 tablespoons sugar shopping list
- One 1/2-pint basket fresh raspberries, optional shopping list
How to make it
- One 8-inch round pan, buttered and the bottom lined with buttered parchment or buttered wax paper, cut to fit
- This unusual cake may be made in advance.
- Just make sure to bring it to room temperature before serving it with whipped cream and a few raspberries.
- Set a rack at the middle level of the oven and preheat to 325 degrees.
- Combine the sugar and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil over low heat, stirring occasionally to make sure all the sugar crystals dissolve.
- Remove the syrup from the heat and stir in the butter and chocolate; allow to stand 5 minutes. Whisk smooth.
- Whisk liqueur, then the eggs, one at a time, into the chocolate mixture. Be careful not to overmix.
- Pour the batter into the pan and place in a small roasting pan.
- Pour 1 inch of warm water into the roasting pan. Bake about 45 minutes, until dessert is set and slightly dry on the surface.
- Remove cake pan from roasting pan.
- Cool to room temperature, then cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate dessert in pan several hours or until chilled.
- To unmold, run a knife between the dessert and the pan and pass the bottom of the pan over heat for no more than 10 seconds. Invert onto a platter.
- To finish, whip the cream with the sugar until it holds a soft peak. Spread the whipped cream over the top of the dessert. Decorate the top with the raspberries.
