Racines Chocolate Cake

on Sun, 09/25/2011 - 22:58

Having spent a lot of time making and enjoying David Lebovitz’s ice cream recipes in The Perfect Scoop, his Ready for Dessert quickly hit my wish list on my Amazon account. After acquiring it, the wonderful photo and ingredient list of the Racines Cake made it the obvious choice for a first recipe.

My youngest daughter, Hannah, and I both prefer icings that are not too sweet. One of the things that drew me to this recipe was the lack of any frosting; the emphasis was purely on chocolate.

Raspberry Buttermilk Cake

The combination of late-summer red raspberries from the local market and this recipe that needs only standard ingredients (already in the house) led me to give this great looking cake a go. The texture is quite moist, the flavor and visual appeal is excellent and it's quite easy to make, so we'll be eating this again, I'm sure.

The recipe is available on the Smitten Kitchen web site, based upon an item in a a previous Gourmet magazine.

Served with homemade crème fraiche, which was a great match.
