I have a recipe for a chocolate raspberry cake that I want to try, but it calls for some balsamic vinegar in it. This seems like a strange ingredient to me. has anyone tried it before or is there a good chocolate raspberry cake recipe out there?

Thanks!

I've never done a chocolate/raspberry cake... but I agree. it sounds weird to have balsamic vinegar in the recipe. I think the only way to find out is to try it. I would also hate to waste the ingredients, I hope someone else can be of better help! Sorry!

Balsalmic vinegar is used commonly with fruit, especially strawberries. Use an aged variety, at least 6 years old. It's surprisingly good!

I made a chocolate cake and used a raspberry filling recipe I found here on CC. The filling recipe called for chambord, so I also used the chambord(raspberry Liquor) to spray it on the baked cake. That's as close I've got to making raspberry-chocolate cake. Everyone really liked it.

Balsamic vinegar is sweet and is perfect with berries over ice cream. I've had cakes made with regular vinegar, and they were very good, so the balsamic vinegar will work very well. I'd like to see that cake with the balsamic vinegar in it - I bet it's wonderful!

Not made a cake like that but have made an eggless choc cake in the past with regular vinegarand it was yummy! Also agree wikth the above a lot of recent chef recipes have the strawberrys done in balsamic as a dessert so sure it will be lovely. Belazu do a very "sweet" aged Balsamic, that would be perfect but not sure how easy that is for you to get hold of.

i've made choc/rasp cupcakes that had balsamic vinegar in it and as odd as it sounds, they were wonderful. there was no "vinegary" taste in the cupcakes icon_smile.gif
