Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F or 180 degrees C Line a circular (10 inch or 25 cm) cake tin with non-stick paper and grease the tin. *Note: the cake will rise to 3 inches and collapse somewhat when cooled. If your cake tin is less than 10 inches wide and 3 inches tall, use two cake tins. Break semi-sweet chocolate into small pieces and melt with the butter over hot water. Beat the eggs with sugar then mix in flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and vanilla extract. Gently fold in the melted butter and chocolate and the sour cream. Bake at 350 degrees until a fork inserted in center comes out clean...40 to 50 minutes (if using 2 cake tins 20-30 minutes may be sufficient). Cool the cake completely. When it is at room temperature, place it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before removing from the tin. Remove any crusted surface on the top of the cake, and cut cake in half, horizontally. If you are making two separate, thinner, cakes omit this step.

Remove from heat, add 9 oz (260 g) of finely chopped dark semisweet chocolate, stir until smooth, and let it cool until in thickens. Use one 1/3 of the frosting between the two layers, 1/3 on top, and the rest around the cake. Put the cake into the fridge for one hour or more to harden the frosting. Garnish with raspberries and serve at room temperature. Variations: Add 3 tablespoons of rum to the chocolate and butter mixture. Add chopped walnuts and decorate with whole walnuts.
