Ingredients

Servings

• 2 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Cocoa powder
• 2 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• ¹⁄₂ teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 2 cup Granulated sugar
• 3 large Eggs
• 2 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Buttermilk
• ¹⁄₂ cup Raspberry preserves
• 2 cup Heavy cream
• ¹⁄₄ cup Powdered sugar
• ¹⁄₂ cup Fresh raspberries

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.
5. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
6. In a small bowl, whisk together the raspberry preserves and 1/4 cup of powdered sugar. Set aside.
7. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream and remaining powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
8. To assemble the cake, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread the raspberry cream filling evenly over the top. Place the second layer on top and press gently to secure. Frost the top and sides of the cake with the whipped cream. Decorate with fresh raspberries.
9. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Enjoy!
