A Place In Time: Raspberry Chipotle Chocolate Cake with Seeing Double Chocolate Sauce

 

What a mouthful of bold and sensuous flavors in each bite. This recipe is a marriage of tastes made in heaven — a dense and dark chocolate cake, robed in the sultry, silken, sinful even, ultimate "chocolateness" of Seeing Double Chocolate Sauce with little flavor spikes of raspberry zipping around your palate. After two or three bites, a subtle glow of spice from chipotle chiles spreads gently in the back of the mouth. It’s like all of life’s best moments happening right there in your mouth all at once!

 

6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, broken into pieces
2 cups boiling water
3-1/2 cups all–purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
12 tablespoons (1-1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
1-1/2 cups Fischer & Wieser’s Original Roasted Raspberry Chipotle Sauce
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 jar Texas on the Plate Seeing Double Chocolate Sauce

 

Butter and flour a 10–inch diameter bundt pan; tap out all excess flour. Set aside. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

 

Place the chocolate pieces in a medium bowl and whisk in the boiling water. Whisk until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth. Set aside to cool to room temperature.

 

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, salt and baking powder. Toss with a fork to blend well; set aside.

 

In bowl of electric mixer, combine the softened butter, sugar and eggs. Beat on medium–high speed about five minute, or until light and fluffy. Add the Raspberry Chipotle Sauce and vanilla. Beat just to blend well. At low speed beat in the flour mixture in four batches, alternating with the chocolate, beginning and ending with the flour. Stop mixer and scrape down side of bowl after each addition. Beat only until smooth and well blended.

 

Turn the batter out into prepared pan and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a metal skewer inserted in center of cake comes out clean. Cool in the pan on wire rack for 20 minutes, then unmold onto cake plate. While the cake is still slightly warm, pour the Seeing Double Chocolate Sauce slowly over the top, letting it drip down onto sides of cake. Cool completely before slicing. Makes one 10–inch bundt cake.  From Fischer & Wieser’s web site.

a Bed and Breakfast

as well as visiting Fredericksburg.  A Place In Time was a perfect place to stay.  The hosts were warm and inviting, and provided great information on what to do and see."
