Chocolate Raspberry Layer CakePatricia Heal

Tender chocolate cake is layered with raspberry jam and rich chocolate ganache (a mixture of melted chocolate and whipping cream) in this great dessert. Fresh raspberries make a pretty and easy topping.

Equipment tip:

This recipe calls for two 9-inch cake pans with 2-inch-high sides, which is a bit deeper than an average cake pan. You can find these pans at kitchen supply stores and restaurant supply stores, or buy them online at surlatable.com or culinarydistrict.com.
