This can be someone's new favorite! The cake is moist, delicate and oh so decadent. One of my favorites and a chocolate lovers dream that loves raspberry. If you want a special cake then you found it. I just love how easy this one is to make too! You can even add whipped cream, chopped nuts like pistachio's, shredded coconut or cherries You really can add whatever you like on top. I love it just the way it is. The raspberry really bring this cake to a new level!
Chocolate Raspberry Ganache Cake Recipe
2 cups flour
1 3/4 cups sugar
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup water
3/4 cup buttermilk
3/4 cup canola oil
3 large eggs
Raspberry seedless jam warmed
Ganache frosting (see below)
Garnish fresh raspberries
Optional: whipped cream and chopped pistachios
Whisk the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until evenly blended. Grease a 13 x 9 pan or two 9 inch pans if you want to freeze one. Pour the batter into the pan and bake at 350 until toothpick comes clean in center, 30 to 45 minutes. Cool completely.
Make Ganache:
16 ounces semisweet chocolate (I used Lindt)
2 cups heavy cream heat to boiling in the microwave
In a medium bowl, pour heavy cream over the chopped chocolate and stir until melted
Top with ganache. Garnish with fresh berries.
Nothing like chocolate and raspberry together. What a great combo! This looks like something I'd love to stick in my mouth!
