Original recipe yields 1 - 9 inch round cake

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line the bottom of a 9 inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
Bring butter, espresso, and sugar to a boil in a medium saucepan, stirring to dissolve sugar.
Place chocolate in a large bowl, and add boiling hot espresso mixture. Whisk until smooth. Cool slightly. Whisk in eggs. Pour batter into prepared pan.

Puree raspberries in processor. Chill. Serve with chilled cake.
