Raspberry Sachetorte ( Sachetorte con frambuesas)

About a month ago was the twins' birthday and I made this Sache torte with raspberries.
I love the traditional Sachetorte with apricots jam but this was awesome)
The twins (Gerardo y Esperanza) love chocolate. It was their birthday so it had to be what they wanted.

I made this Sache Torte from that little book that I have in my kindle library: The European Cake cookbook.
I have to say: all the cakes I have made of this book are wonderful. (You can find in Amazon)

This cake can be made with fresh or frozen raspberries, everything depends on the season of the year.

In a separate bowl whisk together the egg whites and sugar until stiff and glossy peaks form. Transfer 1/3 of the meringue into the chocolate batter, folding gently but throughly. Then add the remaining meringue, folding and mixing to a uniform batter.
Transfer the batter into the prepared springform pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes or until the top is set. Remove the cake from the oven and cool it in the pan first, then transfer onto a wire rack to cool completely. Once the cake has cooled use a long serrated knife to level off the top and split the cake in half.
