To make the Cake: In a medium bowl, combine flour and baking powder. Set aside. In a large mixing bowl, cream butter, sugar, and lemon zest together until well blended. Add eggs one at a time, beating constantly until eggs are well blended into mixture. Continue beating and pour in milk. Slowly add dry ingredients, beating until incorporated, then beat at high speed for 1 minute. Scrape sides of bowl and continue beating batter at high speed for another 2 minutes. Pour batter into a 5— by 9-inch loaf pan lined with parchment paper.

Place loaf pan atop a small, inverted baking sheet with sides. Place in center of cooking grate, and cook for 50 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the cake's center comes out clean. Remove from grill and allow cake to rest in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a cooling rack.

To make the Raspberry Sauce: In a large saucepan, stir the water and sugar together. Simmer for 5 to 8 minutes; remove from heat and cool for 10 minutes. Whisk arrowroot into the tangerine juice until dissolved; pour slowly into the sugar water. Return to a simmer and simmer for 10 minutes, whisking constantly. Fold in the raspberries. Allow to marinate for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, make the Chocolate Whipped Cream. In a large mixing bowl, stir cream and syrup together. Whip to soft peaks.

Place a slice of batter cake on a plate, top with raspberry sauce, and mound with the chocolate whipped cream.

This recipe yields 8 servings.

Wine Recommendation: Chocolate whipped cream is a challenge for the grape, but a Sparkling Shiraz from Australia will do the trick. It's perfectly balanced to lift the semi-sweet raspberries and to cleanse the palate of the chocolate cream.

Beer Recommendation: A raspberry Lambic from Belgium (where it's called Framboise) or a similar beer from an American craft brewer will create a rich and subtly refreshing sauce for the sensual chocolate cream.
