Ingredients

Instructions

  • Place the chopped chocolate in a small bowl.  
  • Heat the cream until just barely simmering, and pour it over the chocolate.  Allow to stand for 5 minutes, then stir with a silicone spatula until smooth.  Cool the ganache until thick and spreadable.
  • Place the sugar, eggs, and salt in a mixing bowl and whip on medium-high speed until doubled in volume, and very pale and thick (5 to 10 minutes).  
  • Stir in the vanilla extract.  
  • Sift the flour and cocoa powder together, and add the mixture alternately with the melted butter, folding gently so the batter loses as little volume as possible.  
  • Refrigerate the batter (covered), for 45 minutes or until thickened.
  • Butter a madeleine pan generously, and refrigerate for 10 minutes.  
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.  
  • Scoop the batter into the prepared pan, filling each well about 3/4 full.  
  • Set a fresh raspberry (stem side up) into the center of each madeleine.  
  • Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until slightly crisp around the edges.
  • Cool in the pan for several minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.  
  • Using a pastry bag fitted with a #5 tip, pipe a small amount of ganache into the cavity of each raspberry.  
  • Turn the madeleines over and dust with powdered sugar, for garnish.
