Since its summer, raspberries are in season and they will not break the bank when adding some sophistication to the dessert menu. Baking a cake like this is one of my favorite things to do because the members of the house will pay a visit to the cook and make sure all is good as they line up for the first taste. For best results follow the directions and use the recommended 9-inch cake pan.
Once you try making this cake using my suggestions for an easy to bake chocolate cake, you’ll never buy the kind in the box again. My recipe is just as easy and tastes so much better than anything off the shelf at the local grocery store. Not to mention made from scratch cake steps up the game and will establish you as a serious home-cooker once you see the looks on your families face as they take that first bite of this mouth watering raspberry chocolate experience. This can keep in the refrigerator but is best left out at room temp prior to serving. Enjoy and have a great weekend!
