Ingredients

1/2	cup	flour, all-purpose
2	tablespoons	sugar	granulated
1/4	teaspoon	baking powder	double acting
4	tablespoons	heavy whipping cream
1/8	teaspoon	salt
2	tablespoons	butter	cold, unsalted, cut into bits
2	tablespoons	cocoa powder	unsweetened
1/4	teaspoon	baking soda
1 1/2	cups	raspberries
2	tablespoons	sugar	granulated
1	tablespoon	framboise (raspberry brandy)	or to taste
1/3	cup	heavy whipping cream	well-chilled
1	x	powdered sugar	for sprinkling
1	x	mint sprigs	for garnish

Directions

Make the shortcakes: In a bowl sift together the cocoa powder, the flour, the sugar, the baking powder, baking soda, and salt, add butter, and blend the mixture until it resembles coarse meal.

Add the cream and stir the mixture with a fork until it forms a dough.

Divide the dough in half, arrange each half in a mound on a lightly greased baking sheet, and bake the shortcakes in the middle of a 425 degree F oven for 12 minutes or until a tester inserted in the centers come out with crumbs clinging to it.

Transfer to a rack to cool.

In a bowl mash 3/4 cup of the raspberries with a fork, stir in 1 tablespoon of the granulated sugar and the framboise, stirring until the sugar is dissolved, and stir in the remaining 3/4 cup raspberries.

In a small bowl with an electric mixer beat the cream until it holds soft peaks, add the remaining 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, and beat the cream until it holds stiff peaks.

Cut the shortcakes in half.

(The shortcakes are delicate and crumble easily.)

Top each bottom half with half the raspberry mixture, divide the whipped cream between the 2 shortcakes.

With a spatula carefully top each serving with the top half of a shortcake.

Sprinkle with confectioners sugar and garnish with mint.
