Moreover, it is important that you always read the labels on every product you buy to see if the product could cause an allergic reaction or if it conflicts with your personal or religious beliefs. If you are still not sure after reading the label, contact the manufacturer.

Dessert on the menu? Try pairing with Cream Sherry, Port Wine, and Moscato d'Asti. A common wine pairing rule is to make sure your wine is sweeter than your food. Delicate desserts go well with Moscato d'Asti, nutty desserts with cream sherry, and caramel or chocolate desserts pair well with port. The NV Johnson Estate Cream Sherry with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 19 dollars per bottle.

NV Johnson Estate Cream Sherry

Very aromatic with notes of hazelnut, vanilla, and a touch of oak followed by sweet raisins and a touch of yeast. Clean lasting finish. Good now but will reward those allow it to age"". A favorite pre-prandial beverage. Consider it with nuts before dinner as an aperitif, or after dinner with dessert, especially chocolates and fruit-based desserts. Also wonderful on cold afternoons, served with biscotti to dip in ""Italian-style"". "

Instructions

  1. Cake:
  2. In a bowl add the cocoa and pour in the boiling water. Stir to combine and let cool.
  3. In a large mixing bowl combine the flour, 1 cup sugar, baking powder and salt.
  4. In a separate bowl add the 6 egg whites and cream of tartar. With an electric mixer beat the egg whites until soft peaks form, gradually add the 1/3 cup sugar and beat until firm but not dry.
  5. Make a well in the dry ingredients.
  6. Add the oil, egg yolks, vanilla and cooled cocoa. Beat until smooth.
  7. Mix in about a 1/4 of the egg whites to loosen the batter and then fold in the remainder of the egg whites.
  8. Pour into 2-8 inch prepared cake pans and bake at a preheated 350 F oven for 30-35 minutes. The cake is done when a wooden skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Filling:
  10. With and electric mixer, blend the sugar, cocoa and butter, add the vanilla and cream. Mix and add more cream to obtain the desired texture.
  11. Topping:
  12. In a double boiler or microwave bring the cream to just below the boiling point. Add the chocolate pieces and butter, and with a wooden spoon stir to blend. Allow to cool, this will thicken the ganache gor the topping.
  13. Assembly:
  14. With a long knife, slice the cakes in the center to obtain 4 layers in all. Sprinkle some Kirsch or other favourite liqueur on the first layer of cake and spread a thin layer of the filling. Place raspberry halves on the filling and place a second layer of cake on top. Continue in the same manner until the remaining 2 layer are filled, leaving the top layer to be iced with the ganache topping.
