Here’s a snapshot of the recipe:

Ingredients:

For the Cake:
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 and 1/2 cups granulated sugar
– 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
– 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
– 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
– 1 and 1/2 cups whole milk
– 1/2 cup vegetable oil
– 2 large eggs
– 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

For the Raspberry Cream:
– 1/2 cup raspberry jam
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 2 tablespoons icing sugar

For the Chocolate Ganache:
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 9 ounces semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C), and grease your cake pans.
2. For the cake, mix the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, and baking soda in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, oil, eggs, and vanilla. Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
3. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared pans and tap gently to remove any air pockets.
4. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the centres comes out clean. Let them cool in the pans on a wire rack for about 10 minutes.
5. For the raspberry cream, whip the cream and icing sugar until it forms soft peaks. Gently fold in the raspberry jam.
6. Once the cakes are cooled, spread the raspberry cream between the layers.
7. For the chocolate ganache, heat the cream in a small saucepan until it just begins to simmer. Pour over the chocolate chips in a separate bowl and allow to sit for 5 minutes. Stir until smooth and glossy.
8. Pour the ganache over the layered cake, allowing it to drip down the sides. Let it set before serving.

This Divine Chocolate Raspberry Cake is everything that a chocoholic dreams of – the velvety, rich texture of chocolate combined with the tantalising tartness of raspberries creates an unforgettable, finger-licking experience. It’s indulgence redefined!
