I dreamed of chocolate raspberry cake in layers, with lots of dark chocolate mousse and raspberry jelly, and this is exactly how this cake was though of. An elegant chocolate raspberry entremet that is some-what reminding me of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lilcookie.com\/gluten-free-opera-cake\/\">Opera cake<\/a>, only with completely different flavors.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you like the combination of chocolate and raspberries, I have no doubt that this cake is going to be one of your favorite. It\u2019s made of layers of chocolate biscuits soaked in chocolate syrup filled with chocolate mousse and raspberry jelly. To top it all &#8211; a layer of dark chocolate ganache, vanilla whipped cream, raspberry fluid-gel and a little edible gold to make it fancier.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Although this cake requires a few hours of preparation, one bite of it will make you realize how the investment was worth it. A combination of sweet, sour, soft and crispy in an irresistible ultimate chocolate raspberry entremet. Totally one of the most delicious cakes I&#8217;ve made recently.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_19165\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19165\" class=\"wp-image-19165\" title=\"Chocolate Raspberry Entremet\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lilcookie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/gateau_chocolat_framboise2-s.jpg\" alt=\"Chocolate Raspberry Entremet\" width=\"800\" height=\"1200\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-19165\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Natalie Levin<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6091382327871787\" data-ad-slot=\"7832461759\" data-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p><!--WPRM Recipe 19174--><\/p>\n<div class=\"wprm-fallback-recipe\">\n<h2 class=\"wprm-fallback-recipe-name\">Chocolate Raspberry Entremet<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wprm-fallback-recipe-summary\">\n<div class=\"wprm-fallback-recipe-equipment\">\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"wprm-fallback-recipe-ingredients\">\n<h4>For chocolate biscuit layers:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>5 large eegs<\/li>\n<li>200 grams (1 cup) sugar<\/li>\n<li>Pinch of salt<\/li>\n<li>1 tsp. vanilla extract<\/li>\n<li>140 grams (1 cup) all-purpose flour<\/li>\n<li>70 grams (1\/2 cup) cocoa powder<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>For raspberry jelly layer:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>3 grams (3\/4 tsp.) gelatin powder<\/li>\n<li>15 ml.
