• Butter the bottom and sides of a deep 9 inch round springform pan.
• Line the bottom of the pan with a round of parchment paper and butter the paper.
• In a food processor fitted with the metal blade, process the chocolates, sugar, and coffee 15-20 seconds until finely ground.
• With the motor of the food processor running, pour the boiling water through the feed tube.
• Process 10-15 seconds, until the chocolate is completely melted.
• Scrape down sides of bowl with spatula.
• Add butter and eggs and vanilla and then process about 5 seconds until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
• Scrape chocolate batter into prepared pan and smooth top.
• Bake 55-60 minutes until edges are puffy and center is just set.
• Cool on wire rack for 30 minutes.
• Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
• Make raspberry sauce with frozen raspberries and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat.
• Cook until sugar is dissolved and berries are just soft. {Don't boil}
• Strain mixture and stir in raspberry liqueur.
• Remove cake from pan by running a thin knife blade around cake to loosen from pan.
• Invert cake onto a plate and peal off paper.
• Refrigerate cake while preparing whipped cream.
• Whip cream with sugar and vanilla to stiff peaks.
• To serve drizzle some raspberry coulis on each plate; cut thin slice of cake and place on plate.
• Garnish slices of cake with a dollop of whipped cream and fresh raspberries.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F and butter the inside of a spring-form pan. Melt the chocolate and butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat; stirring frequently until smooth. Stir in the sugar, cocoa powder and salt until all of the lumps are gone. Remove from the heat and let cool for a few minutes.
• Meanwhile, beat the egg whites in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until they form stiff peaks, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Stir the egg yolks into the cooled chocolate mixture, then stir in about a quarter of the whipped egg whites. Scrape this lightened chocolate mixture into the remaining whipped egg whites and gently fold until mostly combined (it's ok if there are some streaks of egg white). Pour into the prepared pan and bake until the center of the cake no longer wiggles, 40 to 45 minutes. Let cool completely in the pan, on a wire rack (the cake will deflate slightly). Unlock the pan and dust the top of the cake with some cocoa powder. Cut into slices and serve with whipped cream.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9-inch round pie pan. Line pan with greased parchment or waxed paper. In the top of a double boiler, melt the butter and chocolate and stir until smooth. Whip the egg yolks and the sugar until fluffy and pale in color. Fold butter and chocolate mixture into the egg yolk and sugar mixture, adding the coffee liqueur. Whip the egg whites to soft peaks and gently fold into the chocolate mixture. Pour into the pie pan and bake for 25 to 35 minutes then allow to cool completely.
• Cajeta: In a medium saucepan, bring water and sugar to a boil, do not stir. Remove from heat when the sugar is amber in color and add enough cream to thin the caramel to a fairly liquid consistency. Stir in butter. To test consistency, dip a spoon into the caramel mixture and allow to cool. If the "cajeta" is gooey but holds its shape, it's ready; if it hardens too much, add a little more cream and test again.
• Strawberry-Lime Salsa: In a blender, puree half the strawberries with the lime juice and the sugar. Strain and reserve. Cut the remainder of the strawberries in quarters and mix with the puree. Add chiffonade of mint.
• When the cajeta has cooled a little, but is still warm, pour over cake on top of a wire rack to catch the drippings. Using your hand, pat almonds all around the sides of the cake. Refrigerate for 2 hours and serve chilled with salsa.
