Ingredients

  • 8 egg whites
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1-1/2 cups sugar, divided
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 6 egg yolks
  • 1/2 cup cold water
  • 1/2 cup canola oil
  • 2 tablespoons raspberry flavoring syrup
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 6 ounces white baking chocolate, grated
  • 1 cup finely chopped pecans
  • 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1 cup seedless raspberry jam
  • 2 ounces white baking chocolate, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon shortening
  • White chocolate curls and fresh raspberries, optional

Directions

  1. 1
    Let egg whites stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. In a large bowl, combine the flour, 1 cup sugar, baking powder and salt. In another bowl, whisk the egg yolks, water, oil, raspberry syrup and vanilla. Add to dry ingredients; beat until well blended. Stir in chocolate and pecans.
  2. 2
    In another bowl, beat egg whites and cream of tartar on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in remaining sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, on high until stiff peaks form. Gradually fold into batter.
  3. 3
    Gently spoon into an ungreased 10-in. tube pan. Cut through batter with a knife to remove air pockets. Bake on the lowest oven rack at 325° for 65-75 minutes or until cake springs back when lightly touched. Immediately invert pan; cool completely, about 1 hour.
  4. 4
    Run a knife around side and center tube of pan. Remove cake to a serving plate. In a small saucepan, cook and stir jam over low heat until bubbly. Drizzle over cake. Cool.
  5. 5
    In a microwave, melt baking chocolate and shortening; stir until smooth. Drizzle over cake. Garnish with chocolate curls and raspberries if desired.
