How to make flourless chocolate raspberry cake with crispy meringue topping
Start by preheating your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease an 8-inch (20cm) pan with butter and line it with parchment paper.
Next, prepare the flourless chocolate cake with raspberries. Melt the chocolate and butter together using a bain-marie until they’re wonderfully smooth. Give it a moment to cool down a bit.
While that’s cooling, grab a mixer and beat the eggs, sugar, salt, and vanilla extract for 5-7 minutes until they’re thick and creamy.
Once your eggs are ready, incorporate the melted chocolate into the mix. Stir it all up until it’s perfectly blended.
Sift in the cocoa powder and gently fold it in with a spatula. Now, pour the mixture into your prepared pan. Arrange the raspberries on top of your cake.
Pop the pan into the oven and bake for 25 minutes. After the first 15 minutes of baking, start beating the meringue.
For the meringue, start by whipping the egg whites and salt until they’re delightfully foamy. Gradually add the sugar, continuing to mix until those soft peaks begin to form. Introduce the vinegar or lemon juice and cocoa powder and keep mixing until the peaks become stiff.
Remove the cake from the oven and spread the meringue over the top. Now, increase the temperature to 340°F (170°C) and bake for another 20-25 minutes, or until the meringue gets golden and puffy. It may crack, don’t worry, it is fine.
Once out of the oven, grab a sharp knife and carefully run it around the edge of the pan. Let the cake cool entirely—don’t worry if the meringue shrinks a bit, it’s natural.
Rest the cake for an hour at room temperature to cool down before diving in and savoring the cake. Dust with instant coffee powder for an intense flavor combination.
