Chocolate Raspberry Cake is a rich and decadent dessert that combines the richness of chocolate cake with fresh raspberries and whipped cream frosting. The perfect balance of sweet and tart flavors makes this cake an unforgettable treat for any occasion.

Ingredients

1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour

1 ½ cups granulated sugar

¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1 ½ teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

1 cup whole milk

½ cup vegetable oil

2 large eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 cup boiling water

1 cup fresh raspberries (plus extra for garnish)

2 cups heavy cream

¼ cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for frosting)

Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk to combine.
  3. In another bowl, combine the milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until thoroughly combined.
  5. Carefully stir in the boiling water to create a thin batter.
  6. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
  7. Place the pans in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Remove the cakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the pans for about 15-20 minutes. Then, turn them out onto wire racks to cool completely.
  9. In a clean bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Continue whipping until stiff peaks form.
  10. Once the cakes are cooled, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of whipped cream over it, sprinkle fresh raspberries, and then add the second layer.
  11. Top with the remaining whipped cream and arrange additional raspberries on top for decoration. Optionally, garnish with fresh mint leaves.

Notes

For a richer cake, add chocolate chips to the batter or drizzle melted chocolate over the top along with the raspberries.

For a vegan version, substitute the dairy ingredients with plant-based alternatives like almond milk and coconut cream.

This cake can be made gluten-free by using a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend.
