Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 350°F. Coat a 9-inch springform pan with nonstick cooking spray. In a small bowl, combine graham-cracker crumbs and egg white; press into bottom of prepared pan. Bake 6 minutes; cool.

In a small bowl, combine cocoa powder, 1/3 cup sugar, 3 tablespoons flour, and grated chocolate. In a food processor, mix cream cheese, sour cream, eggs, and remaining 1 cup sugar until smooth. Add cocoa mixture and vanilla and chocolate extracts to cream cheese mixture; blend until smooth.

Toss raspberries in remaining 1 tablespoon flour, then fold into filling. Pour filling into crust in pan. Bake 60 minutes, until center is barely set. Cool at room temperature, then cover and refrigerate overnight.

In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt semisweet chocolate and butter; whisk until smooth. Drizzle over cake.
