• 1 tbsp unsalted butter (For the topping)
• 0.5 oz semisweet chocolate (Finely chopped; for the topping)
• 5 tbsp unsalted butter (Melted and cooled, plus more for the pan)
• 1 cup all-purpose flour (Plus more for the pan)
• 0.75 cup sugar (For the cake)
• 0.5 tsp baking powder
• 0.25 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• 0.333333 cup buttermilk
• 0.5 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 large egg (Lightly beaten)

Steps

1. 1

   Make the topping: In a small bowl, use your hands to mix together the packed brown sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, and 1 tablespoon butter. Stir in the finely chopped semisweet chocolate, then set the topping aside.

2. 2

   Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat it to 375°F (190°C). Butter and flour an 8-inch springform pan, then set the prepared pan aside.

3. 3

   Sift the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and kosher salt into a medium bowl.

4. 4

   In a second medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted and cooled butter, vanilla extract, and lightly beaten egg.

5. 5

   Add the buttermilk mixture to the sifted dry ingredients and stir just until combined.

6. 6

   Spread the batter evenly into the prepared springform pan.

7. 7

   Sprinkle the black raspberries evenly over the batter.

8. 8

   Sprinkle the prepared chocolate-brown-sugar topping over the raspberries.

9. 9

   Bake until the cake is well browned, 50–55 minutes.

10. 10

    Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let the cake cool for 10 minutes.

11. 11

    Run a knife around the edges of the cake, then remove the springform ring. Serve warm.

Notes

The structured recipe data lists a 70-minute cook time, while the detailed baking instruction specifies 50–55 minutes plus a 10-minute cooling period. If using red raspberries instead, the source suggests increasing the amount to 1¼ cups because they are larger than black raspberries.
