Time 2h

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 21

3 (1 ounce) squares fine-quality semisweet chocolate, chopped
1 ½ cups hot brewed coffee
3 cups white sugar
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
¾ teaspoon baking powder
1 ¼ teaspoons salt
3 large eggs
¾ cup vegetable oil
1 ½ cups well-shaken buttermilk
¾ teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup heavy whipping cream
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
½ pound fine-quality semisweet chocolate, chopped
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 (20 ounce) packages frozen raspberries, thawed
½ cup white sugar
1 lemon, zested
2 tablespoons cornstarch

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
  • Combine chopped chocolate and hot coffee in a bowl. Stir occasionally until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth. Set aside.
  • Sift sugar, flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl.
  • Beat eggs in a bowl using an electric mixer until slightly thickened and lemon-colored. Slowly add oil, buttermilk, vanilla extract, and melted chocolate mixture. Beat until well combined. Add sugar-flour mixture; beat on medium speed until just combined. Divide batter between the prepared cake pans.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 1 hour to 1 hour and 10 minutes. Let cool completely in pans on wire racks, about 30 minutes. Invert layers onto racks.
  • While cakes are cooling, bring heavy cream, sugar, and corn syrup to a boil over low heat in a small saucepan. Whisk until sugar dissolves. Add chocolate; whisk until melted. Add butter; whisk until smooth. Let ganache frosting cool until spreadable, about 10 minutes.
  • While frosting and cakes continue to cool, puree raspberries in a food processor. Press through a fine mesh strainer with the back of a spoon into a saucepan. Pour in sugar and cornstarch; bring to a boil over medium-low heat. Cook until thickened and reduced, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in lemon zest. Remove raspberry filling from heat.
  • Cut each cake layer in 1/2 horizontally to produce 4 equal layers. Spread 1/3 raspberry filling onto each of 3 layers and stack. Place top layer onto cake. Spread ganache frosting evenly from center of top layer down the sides of the cake.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cake Recipes

Time 1h35m

Number Of Ingredients 16

Vegetable-oil cooking spray
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature
1 1/4 cups sugar
3 large eggs, room temperature
1 tablespoon raspberry liqueur, such as Chambord or framboise (optional)
1 cup buttermilk, room temperature
4 ounces bittersweet chocolate (61 percent cacao), melted and cooled
4 packages (6 ounces each) fresh raspberries (a scant 6 cups)
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
Pinch of coarse salt
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
Chocolate Frosting for Chocolate-Raspberry Cake

Steps:

  • Cake: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly coat three 8-by-2-inch round cake pans with cooking spray. Line bottoms with parchment. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt. In another large bowl, beat butter with sugar on high speed until light and fluffy, 3 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in liqueur. Reduce speed to low and add flour mixture in three batches, alternating with buttermilk in two batches. Beat to combine, scraping down sides of bowl as needed. Beat in melted chocolate.
  • Divide batter evenly among prepared pans, smoothing tops with an offset spatula. Bake, rotating pans halfway through front to back and top to bottom, until a tester inserted in centers comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Let cakes cool in pans on a wire rack 10 minutes. Run a small sharp knife around edges, then invert onto rack. Remove parchment and let cool completely, about 25 minutes. With a serrated knife, trim tops of cakes so they're level.
  • Filling: While cakes are baking, stir together 3 cups raspberries, sugar, salt, and lemon juice in a medium saucepan. Cook over high, stirring frequently and mashing with the back of a spoon, until mixture comes to a boil, 2 minutes. Continue to cook, stirring, until mixture thickens and clings to spoon, 7 to 8 minutes more. (You should have 1 1/3 cups.) Let cool 30 minutes. Stir in 2 cups raspberries, reserving remainder.
  • Spread half of filling over one cake. Top with second layer; spread remaining filling over top. Top with final layer, cut-side down. Refrigerate, covered, at least 1 hour and up to overnight. Spread frosting over top and sides of cake. Garnish with remaining raspberries.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality dark chocolate for the best flavor. A chocolate content of 70% or higher is ideal.
  • Make sure the butter and eggs are at room temperature before beginning. This will help ensure that the cake batter is smooth and well-combined.
  • Do not overmix the cake batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
  • Line the cake pans with parchment paper to prevent the cake from sticking.
  • Bake the cakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can result in a dry, crumbly cake.
  • Allow the cakes to cool completely before filling and frosting them. This will help prevent the filling and frosting from melting.
  • For a smoother filling, strain the raspberry puree before using.
  • If you don't have a pastry bag, you can spoon the filling and frosting onto the cake.
  • Decorate the cake with fresh raspberries or other berries, if desired.

Conclusion:

This dark chocolate cake with a raspberry filling is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The rich, chocolatey flavor of the cake pairs perfectly with the tart and tangy filling, and the creamy frosting adds a touch of sweetness. Whether you're a chocolate lover or a fruit fan, you're sure to enjoy this cake.
