Ingredients: 1/2
c
Butter 1
c
Sugar 4
Eggs 16
oz
Can Hershey's chocolate
Syrup (1 1/2 c) 1
tb
Almond extract 1
c
Flour
Directions:
GLAZE: 1/3 c seedless raspberry jam
FRESTING: 1/4 c heavy cream 4 oz semisweet chocolate 1/2 t instant
coffee powder
GARNISH: 1/4 c sliced almonds, toasted
Preheat oven to 350F. Line the bottom of an 8-9 inch round pan with
waxed paper. Grease sides of pan. Cream butter and sugar. Beat in
eggs, the remaining cake ingredients. Pour into prepared pan and
bake 40-45 minutes or until center of cake is high, firm, and no
longer looks sticky. Cool on cake rack, although total cooling isn't
necessary. It always seems to come out the same.
Remove cake from pan and onto cake rack. Place rack on sheet of waxed
paper. In small pan, heat jam to boiling over medium heat. Lower
heat and cook 2 minutes. Pour jam over cake, spreading to coat top.
In small pan cook frosting ingredients over low heat, stirring
constantly. When chocolate is melted and frosting is smooth pour over
cake, spreading over top and sides.
By carefully lifting cake off of rack with fingers, place cake onto
serving plate. Coat sides with almonds if desired. Let frosting
set. Serve small slices topped with freshly whipped and lightly
sweetened cream.
