Instruct
Prepare flourless chocolate raspberry cake.
Preheat oven to 325F (160C). Butter an 8-inch (20cm) pan and line with parchment paper.
Melt chocolate and butter over bain-marie until smooth. Let cool slightly to room temperature.
Meanwhile, beat eggs with sugar, salt, and vanilla extract with a mixer, about 5-7 minutes, until thickened and lightly golden.
Add melted chocolate and mix until well combined.
Use a spatula to fold the sifted cocoa powder. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan.
Arrange the raspberries on top of the cake.
Bake for 25 minutes.
After the first 15 minutes of baking, start preparing the meringues.
Prepare meringue.
Mix egg whites and salt until frothy. Gradually add the sugar and continue mixing until soft peaks form. Mix vinegar or lemon juice and cocoa powder and continue mixing until stiff peaks form.
Remove cake from oven and spread meringue on top.
Bake at 340F (170C) for another 20-25 minutes, until the meringue is soft and golden.
Run a sharp knife completely around the inner edge of the pan and let it cool completely. The meringue will deflate as it cools.
Let the cake cool at room temperature for about 1 hour before serving.
Sprinkle with instant coffee powder before serving if desired. Enjoy!
