Total Time: 45 minutes

Yield

One 9 inch or 10 inch cake

Directions

  1. To make cake: Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour the tart pan.
  2. Add the Almond Paste (grated using large hole side of a box grater) to a mixing bowl with sugar and butter. Mix on low speed until combined. Beat on high until smooth, about 3 minutes.
  3. Add eggs one at a time beating well between each addition. Scrape bowl down and beat on high until light and fluffy.
  4. Mix flour and cocoa and fold into the batter until just combined.
  5. Spread batter evenly into pan. Bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted between the center and edge comes out clean. The middle will still be soft. It will firm as it cools.
  6. Cool on a wire rack.
  7. To make glaze: Bring water to a simmer in the bottom of a double boiler. Put cream, butter, and chocolate pieces in the top of double boiler. Stir until melted together. DO NOT LET ANY WATER TOUCH MIXTURE.
  8. Pour warm glaze over cake and smooth to edges. For a show stopping presentation, pipe with white frosting and garnish with raspberries.
