Chocolate Raspberry Cake
"Amazingly rich, tender and moist Dark Chocolate Raspberry Cake with layers of luscious raspberry jam and silky chocolate mascarpone all enveloped in rich dark chocolate ganache! The best Chocolate Cake you will ever have! This Chocolate Raspberry Cake is one of my favorite cakes on the planet and always a showstopper (perfect for holidays, Mother’s Day!) The combination of deeply-chocolaty cake and fresh raspberries is indulgently rich yet fresh at the same time. You can either use homemade or store-bought raspberry jam (directions included for both) and the cake stays moist and fresh for days for an ideal make ahead, stress free cake!..."
