Youll dazzle guests and loved ones when you spoon into the cake to reveal the warm chocolate lava center.

A dollop of lightly sweetened whipped cream also makes a wonderful finishing garnish, if you prefer.

Coat an 8-inch square baking dish with baking spray.

Sift together flour, cocoa, salt, and espresso granules into a small mixing bowl.

Beat in flour mixture on low speed until just combined, about 30 seconds.

Gradually beat in melted chocolate mixture just until no streaks of chocolate remain, 30 seconds to 1 minute.

Pour batter into prepared baking dish; top evenly with raspberries.

(If using a dark metal baking pan, begin checking at 25 minutes.)

Serve immediately with vanilla ice cream, if desired.
