Steps:
- CHOCOLATE CAKE.
- Prepare Chocolate Cake according to package directions in two 9 inch cake pans.
- Cool completely. For best results and time permitting, place the layers in freezer until firm.
- RASPBERRY CREAM FILLING.
- Place softened cream cheese and jam in a mixing bowl and cream together until well incorporated, about 2 minutes.
- Add powdered sugar, one cup at a time, until it reaches desired consistency. Use more or less than 2 cups, as desired.
- Frost only ONE of the cooled layers leaving a 1 inch unfrosted margin all around the edge of the layer. Then place the other layer on the Raspberry Filling. The top layer will push the Raspberry Filling toward the edges of the cake, that's why it's important to leave the 1 inch margin.
- CHOCOLATE FROSTING.
- Beat the frosting in mixing bowl for 2-3 minutes.
- Completely frost the sides of the cake.
- Put remaining frosting in decorating bag. Using a large star tip, create a shell border around the top of the cake. The border will keep the ganache on top of the cake. Place cake in refrigerator until ganache is ready.
- RASPBERRY CHOCOLATE GANACHE.
- Combine cocoa, sugar and cornstarch in a saucepan and whisk.
- Gradually add water and jam, continue to whisk the mixture.
- Bring to a simmer over medium heat, whisking constantly.
- Remove from the heat and stir in raspberry liqueur, if using.
- Let cool slightly.
- Remove cake from refrigerator and pour/spread ganache on top.
- Garnish with candies or raspberries.

FUDGY CHOCOLATE LAYER CAKE WITH RASPBERRY CHAMBORD WHIPPED CREAM
I bought a convection oven and I was playing around with some recipes and combined a German chocolate recipe with a fudgy chocolate recipe and then my mind just went in a totally different direction - the directions the recipe that I wrote here are for three layers and I think in a conventional oven that would be best - I tried doing my first one which is pictured here in a spring form (because of the convection oven) and then just sliced it in half - I would not recommend that - I was lucky I had wrapped tin foil around the bottom of the pan - the batter is so liquid that it runs through - so three single layer pans will work best - I made this last weekend for my neighbors birthday and everyone was drooling - hope you enjoy it!

Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the cake. - Make sure the butter and cream cheese are softened to room temperature before creaming them together. This will help them to blend smoothly and create a light and fluffy batter. - Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined. - Bake the cake in a greased and floured 9-inch springform pan. This will help to prevent the cake from sticking to the pan. - Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting. - If you don't have a pastry bag, you can use a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off to pipe the frosting. - Refrigerate the cake for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help the frosting to set.Conclusion:
This chocolate raspberry cream cake is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is made with a rich chocolate cake, a creamy raspberry filling, and a light and fluffy whipped cream frosting. The cake is easy to make and can be decorated with fresh raspberries or chocolate shavings. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced baker, this cake is sure to impress your friends and family.
