Preparation of Valentine’s Day Chocolate Cake
Let’s see how to prepare the Valentine’s Day chocolate cake
1 In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder, sugar, and cocoa well, then add the eggs while mixing. Then add the melted butter and the room-temperature milk, mixing well with a whisk until you get a nice uniform mixture without lumps. Preheat the oven. Pour the mixture into two greased and floured pans, or into heart-shaped paper molds, and bake at 356°F for about 15/20 minutes.
2 Halve the raspberries, put the pieces in a pot with granulated sugar. Add the lemon juice and boil on low heat for about 5 minutes. When ready, turn off the heat and blend with an immersion blender, then strain to remove seeds… add the gelatin and mix. The gelée is ready to be used.
3 Halve the cakes and fill with raspberry jam, cover with the gelée and let cool completely. Decorate with some raspberries and sugar hearts.
