Chocolate Cake and Frosting With Raspberry Filling image

From the Hershey's Cocoa container. This is super easy and very rich -- almost as easy as a boxed mix and a million times better. It's pretty hard to goof up this one. I'm posting it here in case Hershey's starts printing something else on that container. I like to spread seedless raspberry preserves in between the layers. It's a very dangerous cake to have around.

Time 50m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 cups sugar
1 3/4 cups flour
3/4 cup cocoa
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 cup milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup boiling water
1/2 cup butter, melted
2/3 cup cocoa
3 cups powdered sugar
1/3 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup seedless raspberry preserves (I use Wilkin & Son's LTD brand ( it's more expensive, but it's ~v e r y~ good.)
1/2 teaspoon real vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Cake.
  • Heat oven to 350°F.
  • Grease and flour pans (two 9 inch round pans - I have used larger pans, and cupcakes - just adjust the cooking time accordingly).
  • Combine dry ingredients.
  • Mix in all wet ingredients except for the boiling water - beat at medium speed for about 2 minutes.
  • Stir in boiling water - the batter will be very thin; this is not a mistake.
  • Bake in prepared pans for 30 - 35 minutes or until toothpick stuck in middle comes out clean.
  • Cool on rack 10 minutes.
  • Remove from pan and cool completely on rack.
  • Frosting.
  • Combine melted butter with cocoa.
  • Add sugar and milk alternately, beating on medium speed until desired consistency is reached.
  • Stir in vanilla.
  • Filling.
  • Stir the vanilla into the preserves until its smooth.
  • Assembly.
  • Spread Raspberry jam between cake layers.
  • Frost completely cooled cake.
  • MMM-MMMM So good!

The cake was delicious, but the frosting was a bit too runny. I would recommend using less milk in the frosting.
