Triple Chocolate Raspberry Cake

Triple Chocolate Raspberry Cake

This recipe is for the chocolate lovers in your family!

Last week after I posted the recipe for Birthday Pistachio cake it had over 10,000 views and received a great response so I decided to post this cake recipe.

I created this recipe after I saw an amazing Chocolate Raspberry Cake in a Gourmet Pastry Shop and I knew that I had to try to replicate it.

Happy Birthday Chocolate lovers. I hope you enjoy it!

Ingredients:

1 package of Chocolate cake mix

1 small package fresh or frozen raspberries

6 oz raspberry Jelly

1 package semi sweet chocolate chips

1/2 cup heavy cream

Fresh raspberries for garnish

1 can of Chocolate frosting

1 cup finely Chopped walnuts, pecans or almonds

Instructions:

Prepare the round cake as per package directions and let cool down completely.

Meanwhile, cook the raspberries with the Jelly in a small saucepan letting the raspberries reduce to a thick puree and let cool.

Slice the cooled cakes into 2 layers layers.

Spread the raspberry sauce between layers. Frost the cake with the Chocolate frosting.

Sprinkle the nuts on the sides of cake and pat them into the frosting with the palm of your hand.

Prepare the chocolate sauce by placing the chocolate chips and cream in a double boiler and mix until creamy.

Let the melted chocolate cool down a minute and pour the chocolate sauce over the cake. Garnish with fresh raspberries.

Place in the refrigerator for about 1 hour or more to let the cake get firm. Enjoy!
