is pale yellow and forms a thick ribbon when beaters are lifted. Beat in
cooled chocolate and vanilla. Mix flour, baking powder, and baking soda,
and beat into chocolate mixture just until mixed. Stir in pecans.

Beat egg whites with clean dry beaters in clean dry bowl at low speed until
foamy. Add salt, increase speed to high, and continue beating until they
begin to form stiff peaks. Stir One fourth of whites into chocolate mixture to
lighten, then farefully fold in remaining whites. Pour batter into prepared
pan. Cover with lid or aluminum foil.

Place covered mold in large pot, and add enough boiling water to come
halfway up sides of mold. Cover pot tightly and bring to boil over high
heat. Reduce heat to low and steam pudding, keeping watter simmering at
all times and adding water as necessary, until toothpick inserted in center
comes out clean, about 1 hour and 45 minutes. Transfer pudding to wire cake
rack and cool 5 minutes.

Puree raspberries, sugar, liqueur, and lemon juice. Strain to remove seeds.
Slice pudding into wedges and serve warm with sauce.
