-
Preheat the oven to 350 °F (or 320 °F convection). Grease and flour a springform pan, about 9.5 inches in diameter.
-
Melt the butter in a saucepan, then remove from heat.
-
Set up your Ankarsrum Assistent Original with the Beater Bowl and Balloon Whisks.
-
Add the melted butter, sugar, and eggs to the bowl. Mix on low speed until smooth.
-
Add the flour, cocoa powder, and vanilla sugar. Mix just until combined.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake in the center of the oven for about 15 minutes. The cake should have a soft, fudgy center.
-
Let the cake cool completely in the pan.
-
Press the thawed raspberries through a fine mesh sieve to extract the juice.
-
Thoroughly clean and dry the Beater Bowl and Balloon Whisks. Reassemble the Assistent.
-
Whip the cream until light and fluffy. Slowly add the raspberry juice while whipping, until the cream turns a soft pink. Sweeten with powdered sugar if desired.
-
Spread a generous layer of raspberry whipped cream over the cooled cake. Garnish with fresh raspberries.
-
Tip! For an extra finishing touch, grate some dark chocolate over the top or add a few mint leaves. The cake can be baked a day in advance, but wait to add the topping until just before serving.
