1¼ cups flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

½ teaspoon salt

½ cup unsalted butter
-
4 ounces of dark chocolate, chopped or broken into pieces
-
1 cup seedless raspberry jam
-
¾ cup granulated or caster sugar
-
2 large eggs, beaten
Instructions
-
Preheat to oven to 350°F (180°C or 170°C for a fan oven).
-
Butter a 20 cm (8 inch) springform cake pan and line the bottom with baking parchment.
-
Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a medium bowl. Set aside.
-
Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Keep an eye on it, you don't want browned butter!
-
Stir in the chocolate with a wooden spoon and continue stirring as it begins to melt.
-
Before the chocolate is completely melted, remove the pan from the heat.
-
Stir until the butter and chocolate are thoroughly combined.
-
Stir in the jam, sugar and beaten eggs, combining thoroughly.
-
Beat in the dry ingredients which you set aside earlier. Do this in three additions, beating until the batter in relatively smooth.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 40 to 50 minutes or until a cake tester inserted in the centre of the cake comes out clean. .
-
Cool in the pan on a rack for ten minutes before turning out on to the rack to cool.
-
You can eat the cake warm if you don't want to decorate it with icing sugar but if you wish to pretty it up a bit you need to let it cool completely first. I suggest carefully turning the cake over before decorating and serving.
