Directions
Chocolate Layer Cake With Raspberry Cream Filling, A nicely decorated chocolate cake always makes an impressive presentation, even if it is semi-homemade Adding raspberry cream filling between layers and a rich, chocolate-raspberry ganache on top, gives ordinary chocolate cake a hint of elegance and interest Prep time will vary depending on time spent decorating , My husband always requests chocolate cake with raspberries for his birthday and I came across this recipe, which had a very positive review, so I decided to give it a try It was a huge hit I had so much fun making the cake, and my husband loved the filling – he had no idea there was cream cheese in it, which he will refuse to eat if he knows it’s in there The ganache was heavenly I did not have a frosting bag to decorate the edge of the cake, so I just served the ganache as a sauce on the side I am definitely keeping this recipe handy for his birthday next year I think we have a winner
