Preparation

Melt chocolate in top of double boiler set over simmering water; set aside.

Place jam in small saucepan set over low heat, stirring until melted. Meanwhile, place raspberry concentrate in small bowl. Sprinkle gelatine over top; let stand 2 min. Turn into jam; stir over low heat until dissolved. Stir jam into chocolate; turn chocolate mixture into large bowl.

Whip cream with liqueur and vanilla extract just until soft peaks form. Stir 1/4 of cream into chocolate mixture; fold in remaining cream.

Slice cake layers in half horizontally. Place 1 cake layer in base of 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan. Spread 1/4 of mousse over top. Top with cake layer and 1/3 of remaining mousse. Scatter 1/2 the berries over mousse. Place cake layer over raspberries, pressing gently. Repeat layering ending with mousse. Garnish with remaining raspberries. Loosely cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate 2 hours.

To unmold cake, run a knife around the inside edge and release springform pan. Garnish with fresh mint, dust with icing sugar.
