Equipment
9x13 dish
aluminum foil
uneven spatula
Ingredients
2cupsfrozen raspberries
3/4cupunsalted butter (1 1/2 sticks)
8ouncesdark chocolate
1 1/2cupsall-purpose flour
1/2cupcocoa powder sifted
1/2teaspoonsalt
2cupswhite sugar
6large eggs room temperature
1 1/2cupssemisweet chocolate chips or milk chocolate chips or a mix
Instructions
Preheat oven at 325. Break apart the frozen raspberries into pieces of various size using a tool such as kitchen shears. Place the berries back inside the freezer for now.
In a large microwave-safe bowl or in a pot on the stovetop, melt together the butter and dark chocolate until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
Line a 9x13 pan with foil and apply nonstick spray or butter. In a small bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
Return to the large container with the melted butter and chocolate. Stir in the white sugar until no pale streaks remain. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Gradually fold in the dry ingredients until no white is visible. Fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips and most of frozen raspberries.
Pour batter into the prepared dish. Use an uneven spatula to spread it into an even layer. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup chocolate and remaining raspberries over the top.
Bake for 70 to 80 minutes, until the middle passes the toothpick test; the raspberries release a lot of moisture, hence a long baking time. Set on a rack to cool for at least an hour, speeding process in fridge if desired. Use foil to lift contents onto a cutting board to slice up. Store in a sealed container at room temperature. Keeps for at least 3 days.
