  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1/4 cup sugar (for filling)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 cups dark chocolate chips
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 8-inch cake pans.
  2. Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in a mixing bowl.
  3. Cream the butter and sugar in another bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time.

  9. Simmer the raspberries, 1/4 cup sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan until thickened.
  10. Heat the heavy cream until it simmers, then pour it over the chocolate chips and stir until smooth. Stir in the butter.
  11. Assemble the cake by adding raspberry filling between the layers and pour ganache over the top.
  12. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
