    Ingredients:

      CHOCOLATE CAKE**
      3 eggs, separated
      1/3 cup sugar
      1/2 cup flour
      2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
      RASPBERRY SYRUP
      1/4 cup sugar
      1/4 cup water
      2 tbsp raspberry liqueur (can be non-alcoholic)
      RASPBERRY MOUSSE
      1 1/2 tsp. unflavored gelatin
      1/4 cup water
      2 pkg frozen raspberries, (each 300 grams), thawed
      3/4 cup sugar
      2 tbsp lemon juice
      2 tbsp raspberry liqueur
      2 cups whipping cream
      CHOCOLATE GLAZE
      4 ounces semisweet chocolate
      1/4 cup whipping cream
       

    Directions:

    This recipe makes double the amount of cake needed, so you'll be able to freeze the  extra cake to have on hand when you want to make another one!

    CHOCOLATE CAKE:(** for speed and expedience you can always use your favorite chocolate  cake mix!!) In large bowl, beat egg yolks with 1/4 cup of the sugar until very pale. In  separate bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form; gradually beat in remaining sugar  until stiff peaks form. Fold egg white mixture into egg yolk mixture. Sift flour and cocoa  over egg mixture; gently fold in. Pour into buttered 8 inch springform pan; bake in 350F  oven for 30-35 minutes or until top springs back when lightly touched. Run knife around  edge of cake to loosen. Let cool on wire rack.

    RASPBERRY SYRUP: In small saucepan, combine sugar and water; cook over medium heat  until sugar has dissolved, about 1 minute. Stir in liqueur. Let cool.

    RASPBERRY MOUSSE: In small saucepan, sprinkle gelatin over water; let stand for 5  minutes to soften. Pass berries through food mill to puree and remove seeds to make about  2 cups. Transfer puree to separate saucepan. Add sugar and lemon juice; cook over medium  heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar has dissolved, about 5 minutes. Stir in liqueur;  transfer to large bowl. Over low heat, heat gelatin until dissolved; stir into raspberry  mixture. Chill, stirring occasionally, over larger bowl of ice and water for about 20  minutes or until consistency of raw egg whites. Whip cream; fold into cooled raspberry  mixture. Reserve 1/2 cup for garnish.

    TO ASSEMBLE: Cut cake into 3 or 4 thin layers; reserve 2 layers and freeze remaining  layers for another use. Sprinkle 1 cut side of each of the 2 layers with raspberry syrup.  Place 1 layer, syrup side up, in 9 inch springform pan; pour in half of the raspberry  mousse. Top with second cake layer; pour in enough of the remaining mousse to come almost  to top of pan. Smooth surface. Refrigerate until firm, 1-2 hours.

    CHOCOLATE GLAZE: In top of double boiler over hot, not boiling, water, melt chocolate  with cream, stirring until smooth. Let cool to room temperature yet still spreadable; pour  over mousse and spread evenly. Spoon remaining mouse into pastry bag fitted with small  plain tip; pipe three concentric circles over top of cake. Pull toothpick through circles  to form spiderweb design. Refrigerate until chilled.
