Raspberry Upside Down Petit Four Cake
Makes 1 cake, 12 - 16 pieces
1/3 C. whipping cream
1/3 C. raspberry jam
2 1/2 - 3 1/2 oz. dark chocolate
Cake:
3 1/2 oz. soft butter or margarine
1/3 C. + 2 T. granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 1/4 C. flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. grated lemon peel (only the yellow)
1/3 C. + 1 T. hot milk
Preheat oven to 350�F and generously grease a baking 9-inch square
or round baking pan.
Push the jam through a sieve, bring it to a boil with the cream and
break the chocolate in pieces so that it can melt in this mixture.
Pour the chocolate mixture in the baking dish.
Beat eggs and sugar fluffy and beat in the eggs, one by one. Mix
flour, baking powder and lemon peel and bring the milk to a boil.
Alternate flour mixture and milk and fold it into the batter. Pour
the batter over the chocolate mixture in the dish. Bake in the
middle of the oven for 30 - 35 minutes.
Remove cake from oven and let it sit for five minutes.
Shake the pan lightly so that you can ensure it no longer sticks to
the sides. Unmold onto a serving platter so that the sauce is on
top. Even out the surface and serve. |
