For the cake:

3

 

cups sifted all-purpose flour

1

 

tablespoon baking powder

1/2

 

pound (2 sticks) very soft butter

1

 

cup sugar

 

 

Zest of one lemon

4

 

large eggs

3/4

 

cup milk

 

 

 

For the raspberry sauce:

1/2

 

cup water

1/4

 

cup sugar

1

 

cup tangerine or orange juice

1

 

teaspoon arrowroot

3

 

six-ounce packages (6 cups) fresh raspberries

 

 

 

For the chocolate whipped cream:

1

 

cup heavy cream, very cold

1/4

 

cup chocolate syrup

To make the cake: In a medium bowl, combine flour and baking powder. Set aside. In a large mixing bowl, cream butter, sugar, and lemon zest together until well blended. Add eggs one at a time, beating constantly until eggs are well blended into mixture. Continue beating and pour in milk. Slowly add dry ingredients, beating until incorporated, then beat at high speed for 1 minute. Scrape sides of bowl and continue beating batter at high speed for another 2 minutes. Pour batter into a 5"X 9" loaf pan lined with parchment paper.

Place loaf pan atop a small, inverted baking sheet with sides. Place in center of cooking grate, and cook for 50 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the cake’s center comes out clean. Remove from grill and allow cake to rest in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a cooling rack.

To make the raspberry sauce: In a large saucepan, stir the water and sugar together. Simmer for 5 to 8 minutes; remove from heat and cool for 10 minutes. Whisk arrowroot into the tangerine juice until dissolved; pour slowly into the sugar water. Return to a simmer and simmer for 10 minutes, whisking constantly. Fold in the raspberries. Allow to marinate for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, make the chocolate whipped cream. In a large mixing bowl, stir cream and syrup together. Whip to soft peaks.

Place a slice of batter cake on a plate, top with raspberry sauce, and mound with the chocolate whipped cream.

Makes 8 servings.
