- Preheat oven to 180 degrees C.
- Break the chocolate into small pieces and melt in the microwave with the butter on 50% power in 30 second intervals, stirring between each (you can also do this over a double boiler).
- Place the chocolate in a large mixing bow then add the flour and mix well. In a separate bowl combine the egg yolks with the 200g sugar and beat until very fluffy. Slowly beat into the chocolate.
- Beat the egg whites with the 50g sugar until stiff and fold carefully into the chocolate mixture.
- Line the base of a springform cake tin with parchment paper. Grease the paper and tin walls. Pour in the batter and bake 30-35 minutes. Let cool.
- Mix the raspberries with 2 tablespoons sugar and let sit for 45 minutes. Decorate the top of the cake with the berries then sprinkle with icing sugar just before serving.
