Flourless Chocolate Cake With Marzipan and Raspberries

"This recipe is absolutely to die for, and life altering. Combine the ultra creamy cake part with a bittersweet ganache, raspberry jelly and marzipan and you will just fall out of your seat. You will impress your guests and be the hit of any event with this recipe. I promise you. Make this and you will never eat regular restaurant's supposedly flourless chocolate cake again. I hope you enjoy this piece of deliciousness as much as our family has! The ingredients listed are for one layer of the cake. You will have to double the cake ingredients to make the upper and lower levels."

  1. Since I'm not much of a fan of either coffee or alcohol, I made this for my other half to take to one of his weekly meetings, & THEY LOVED IT! Couldn't stop talking about it, & the 12 copies of the recipe that I sent along were all snatched up quickly! {Tagged, made & reviewed for one of my adoptees in the current Pick A Chef]
