Sometimes when everything seems to go wrong and you feel like you’re stuck, there really is only one remedy: CHOCOLATE RASPBERRY CAKE.
Yesterday I had a day like that. I just felt like the whole world was coming down on me. Luckily I had the great idea to make this cake. When I used to work in vegetarian restaurant ‘The Broers van Julienne’ in Antwerp during my student years, they had a wonderful chocolate raspberry cake, and even though this one is not made with their recipe, it is inspired by them.
It’s not very hard to make. This is the recipe:

ingredients (for 6 portions):
300 gr pure dark chocolate
150 gr butter
6 egg whites
6 egg yolks
200 gr sugar
70 gr raspberries

preheat your oven at 150°C.
Melt the chocolate and the butter on medium heat.
Whisk the egg yolks together with the sugar until the mixture is a bit fluffy. Mix the egg yolks with the melted chocolate.
Whisk the egg whites into peaks and softly fold it into the chocolate mixture.
Put this mixture into a square baking tin. Add the raspberries and bake for about 30 minutes in the oven. The top layer of the cake will be crispy, but the heart will still be a bit soft. Cool down and put in the fridge for a while…

Enjoy!
