Ingredients:

Serving

3/4 cup cake flour
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1 tbsp cornstarch
pinch of baking soda
6 eggs
1 cup sugar
2 tbsp butter, melted
1 cup heavy cream
12 oz bittersweet chocolate, chopped
2 cups seedless raspberry jam
1 cup heavy cream , whipped
garnish: raspberries , mint sprigs, powdered sugar

Directions:

Genoise: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and flour an 8-inch cake pan.
Into a small bowl sift together flour, cocoa powder, cornstarch and baking soda. In a large metal bowl set over barely simmering water, whisk eggs and sugar with a hand-held electric beater until thick, foamy and doubled in volume. Mixture should form a ribbon when beaters are lifted. Make sure that mixture does not get too hot and curdle eggs. Remove from heat and gently fold in flour mixture until just combined. Fold in melted butter and pour into cake pan. Bake 20 minutes until cake is springy to touch. Cool in pan 10 minutes on a cake rack, turn out and cool completely.
Ganache: In a small saucepan bring cream to a boil over high heat. Remove from heat and whisk in chocolate. Let cool, stirring occasionally, until thickened, but still pourable.
Assembly: Halve cake crosswise. On a cake rack set over a baking sheet, cover bottom cake layer with raspberry jam and replace top layer. Over center of cake pour ganache and smooth over top and sides with a palette knife until evenly coated. Let icing set, about 1 hour. To decorate, pipe whipped cream as desired, arrange raspberries and mint and dust with powdered sugar.
