For some of us, Valentine's Day is going to look a lot different than it has in years past. I think the majority of us will be staying home for a change, so this is the year where loved ones can get creative in the kitchen and try new recipes to celebrate the day. I mean, what better way to spend the day with those you love than making memories and eating good food together? Golden Blossom Honey has an amazing recipe list where you're sure to find a lot of great options for dining at home this Valentine's Day, but one of my personal favorites is this Honey Yogurt Raspberry Fudge Torte.
The nice thing about this recipe is that it doesn't actually call for fresh raspberries, which tend to spike in price for the holiday. Instead, you flavor the center with raspberry jam, which is much less expensive and easier than messing with making your own raspberry puree. The tortes bake up light and fluffy with a cake-like consistency, but rich in chocolatey flavor like fudge. Who needs a night out at an overpriced restaurant, anyway? This is a sweet way to end a sweet day with those you love.

Do you usually stay in or go out for Valentine's Day?
Can't believe ya people have raspberries in da middle of winter! So jealous! Loooks so sinfully nom and so springy and refreshing in these cold February days! Why did you put a whole mint stalk on it LOL looks like it gave you problems and you was like - well, screw it and you threw the whole thing on it LOL Torte is called torta in my language btw. I would mash the upper part of the cake, mix it with jam, then spread some jam over the bottom part, put the mashed mixture over it and then top it with whipped cream! But that has always been the secret of my tortas :) Wishing you and Jason a lovely Valentines weekend, go naughty and have fun. Did honey go up in prices over there like it did here?
ReplyDeleteWe do have raspberries in the middle of winter, but they are 4x the cost as the in season berries during the summer months. You need to be really rich or desperate to buy them now.
DeleteThe mint looked a lot better in person. Didn't photo well, but was too late to change it after I went to edit the pics. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.
One day you will have to get a working camera and start taking photos of your yummy meals and desserts. I'm not sure if honey went up in price here as I have a few years worth on hand now, so I haven't been paying attention.
That looks very yummy.I made a raspberry zinger cake last weekend. The last two Valentine’s, we went to a fundraiser gala for the Upside of Downs. It’s a great event and getting dressed up is such a treat. Obviously, that was canceled this year!
ReplyDeleteRaspberry zinger cake sounds divine. Is it like those Little Debbie snack cakes that are so good? Too bad the gala was canceled this year. Maybe it will be even more grand next year to make up for the loss this year.
DeleteQue bien que te quedo la tarta :-)))
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteWhat a delicious and totally V-Day-appropriate cake! Honey is a great addition, because it keeps cakes moist and increases their shelf life.
ReplyDeleteYes, it definitely keeps it moist and adds an extra touch of sweetness to the dessert.

Thank you so much! Hope you had a great Valentine's Day!
DeleteThis looks so yum!! Chocolate and raspberries? Yes, please! My husband waits until Valentine's day to go out alone each year. I wanted to reserve one of those outdoor igloos, but they have a reservation fee of $200 that comes with SQUAT, so that was a big no. Looks like we'll be going out to our typical spot this year. They made pretty drastic restrictions for the holiday so we felt comfortable enough going. Enjoy your time away!
ReplyDelete$200 for a sitting fee is beyond robbery! I'm glad you had the hubs were still able to enjoy yourselves at your usual date spot. The food you showed on your blog looked so delish!
DeleteLooks amazing! Dessert lovers come here to this dessert. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!

DeleteThe layer of chocolate in the middle of the cake makes it look even more attractive, it also adds to the delicacy of the taste.
ReplyDeleteHave a super week and happy Valentine's day!.
Thank you and have a wonderful rest of your week, Himawan!
DeleteWe stay in. I think this torte looks good. I love raspberry anything.
ReplyDeleteWe have always stayed in as well, though this was the first year I haven't spent the day with Jason. I will never turn down anything flavored with raspberry!
DeleteSure a winner for Valentines Day. Even if a certain cat does think the day a crock lol never gone out for it...ever.
ReplyDeleteBah Humbug, Pat ♥
DeleteI love desserts so much. I have such a sweet tooth. This does look great! That reminds me...I'm going to make a coffee cake, for breakfast tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteDid you share pics of your coffee cake? I might have missed it on Facebook while we were traveling. I bet it was scrumptious!

DeleteHoly raspberry, woman, you still haven't published comments ten days after LOL
ReplyDeleteBetween traveling and dealing with my office, I haven't had time to breathe let alone blog. I ended up putting my shop on vacation mode for an extra week to try and catch up around here.
DeleteMy sister is making this... I showed her the link over the weekend. It does look fabulous, and I love that the jam makes it easier to use. I'll be conveniently 'dropping in' when she gets her torte made. Good sisters help sample new treats. ;)
ReplyDeleteI hope she loved it! And I hope she shared with you ♥
