*sigh* This cake was a disaster. It didn't rise properly and the raspberry filling was too runny.

I found this cake to be a bit dry. I think I would add an extra egg or some buttermilk to the batter next time.

The raspberry filling was a bit too tart for my taste, but otherwise this cake was delicious. I'll definitely be making it again, but I'll use a different filling next time.
