Time 3h15m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 10

2/3 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
1 box Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ chocolate fudge cake mix
1 cup water
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
3 eggs
3 cups whipping cream
1/3 cup powdered sugar
1 1/2 cups fresh raspberries
1/3 cup seedless raspberry preserves
1 1/2 cups miniature semisweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Grease and lightly flour bottoms and sides of two 8- or 9-inch round pans.
  • In small bowl, toss 2/3 cup chocolate chips with 1 tablespoon cake mix. In large bowl, beat remaining cake mix, water, butter and eggs with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds, then on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Stir in coated chocolate chips; pour into pans.
  • Bake as directed on box for 8- or 9-inch rounds. Cool 10 minutes. Run knife around side of pans to loosen cakes; remove from pans to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 1 hour. Refrigerate layers 45 minutes for easier handling.
  • In chilled large bowl, beat whipping cream and powdered sugar with electric mixer on high speed until soft peaks form. In medium bowl, gently stir together 1 cup of the raspberries and the preserves; fold in 1 1/2 cups of the whipped cream.
  • Trim off rounded top of one layer. Slice each cake layer in half horizontally to make a total of 4 layers. Reserve untrimmed top layer. Place 1 layer, cut side up, on serving plate; spread with about 3/4 cup raspberry-cream mixture. Repeat with second and third layers. Top with reserved cake layer, cut side down. Frost side and top of cake with remaining whipped cream. Arrange remaining 1/2 cup raspberries over top of cake. Press 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips into side of cake. Store loosely covered in refrigerator.

This torte looks delicious, but it's a bit too rich for my taste. I think I'll try making a lighter version with less chocolate and ganache.

I'm allergic to raspberries. Can I substitute another fruit, like strawberries or blueberries?

This torte looks complicated to make. I'm not sure I have the skills to pull it off.

I'm not much of a baker, but this torte was surprisingly easy to make. The hardest part was waiting for it to cool completely before frosting it.

This torte is absolutely stunning! I made it for my husband's birthday, and he loved it. The raspberry filling is tart and sweet, and the chocolate ganache is rich and creamy.
