Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1 cup of unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups of granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup of raspberry jam
- 1/2 cup of fresh raspberries
- 1/4 cup of powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, sift together 1 cup of flour, 1/2 cup of cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream 1 cup of softened butter with 1 1/2 cups of granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add in 4 eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until well combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the torte to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing the sides of the pan. Let it cool completely on a wire rack.
- Once the torte has cooled, spread 1/2 cup of raspberry jam over the top. Arrange 1/2 cup of fresh raspberries on top of the jam. Dust with 1/4 cup of powdered sugar before serving.
- Slice and serve the chocolate raspberry torte, and enjoy!
