3/4 C. cocoa
3/4 C. vegetable oil
14 egg yolks
1 T. vanilla
2-1/2 C. cake flour
2-1/4 C. sugar
1 T. baking powder

2 t. cream of tartar
Mix together the water and cocoa and cool slightly. Whip the oil, egg yolks, and
vanilla into the cocoa mixture. Sift the flour, sugar, and baking powder, and
add to the egg mixture, mixing well. Beat the egg whites and cream of tartar
until firm peaks form. Fold the flour/egg mixture into the firm peaks. Grease
the bottoms of two 10" springform pans and pour in the final mixture. Bake at
350�F for 20-30 minutes, until set. Cool.
Makes two cakes.
Frosting:
6 C. whipped cream
1-1/2 C. powdered sugar
4 t. vanilla
In a chilled bowl, whip the whipped cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until
stiff.
Assembling:
1 C. soft fudge topping (like Smucker's)
4 C. fresh raspberries, saving 24-28 for rosettes
dark chocolate shavings
Cut the cakes in 3 layers and spread the fudge topping on one layer of each
cake. Sprinkle with a quarter of the raspberries and cover with a thin layer of
the whipped cream mixture. Repeat with next layer and stack all 3 layers. Then
frost the top and sides. Smooth top and section into 12 or 14 pieces. Press
chocolate shavings onto the cake sides (optional). Garnish each slice with one
raspberry, and if you have a pastry bag, a rosette of whipped cream. Chill for
at least 2-3 hours. Serve with raspberry pur�e or chocolate sauce.
