Chocolate Valentino


The February 2009 challenge is hosted by Wendy of WMPE's blog and Dharm of Dad ~ Baker & Chef.
We have chosen a Chocolate Valentino cake by Chef Wan; a Vanilla Ice Cream recipe from Dharm and a Vanilla Ice Cream recipe from Wendy as the challenge.
I wasn’t on planning to participate in this month’s challenge but I decided tonight to go ahead with it. Although I work with lots of recipes that use chocolate, I’ve never made flourless chocolate cake. This one doesn’t even have any sugar in it...just 3 ingredients – chocolate, butter and eggs. I used a combination of 70% and 52% lindt chocolate and added some raspberry puree into the batter. How can anyone resist chocolate with raspberries?
Although I made the cake component of the challenge, I didn’t make the ice cream part. I’m not a major fan of ice cream and I don’t feel like ice cream in the winter so I decided to skip that part of the challenge.

anchan...I don't know why I am attracted to the pairing of raspberries with chocolate.
