1. Rinse the raspberries under cold water and pat them dry gently with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.
2. In a medium saucepan, combine the raspberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and water.
3. Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir occasionally until the sugar dissolves and the raspberries release their juices. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
4. Lower the heat to medium-low and let the mixture simmer gently for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the raspberries have broken down and the mixture is slightly thickened.
5. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool for about 5 minutes.
6. Using a fine-mesh strainer placed over a bowl, strain the raspberry mixture to remove seeds. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to press the puree through the strainer, leaving the seeds behind.
7. Discard the seeds and transfer the smooth raspberry puree to a clean bowl or jar.
8. Let the puree cool completely, then cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
9. Serve the raspberry puree drizzled over slices of chocolate torte cake, or alongside as a dipping sauce.
