Ingredients

• 2 cups of all-purpose flour
• 1¾ cups of granulated sugar
• ¾ cup of unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1½ tsp of baking powder
• 1½ tsp of baking soda
• 1 tsp of salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup of whole milk
• ½ cup of vegetable oil
• 2 tsp of pure vanilla extract
• 1 cup of boiling water
• 1 cup of fresh raspberries
• 8 oz of dark chocolate, chopped
• 1 cup of heavy cream

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes.
4. Stir in boiling water to the batter until smooth. The batter will be thin, but that’s okay.
5. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it starts to simmer. Remove from heat and pour over the chopped dark chocolate. Let it sit for a minute, then whisk until smooth to create the ganache.
8. Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of ganache over the top and scatter fresh raspberries.
9. Place the second cake layer on top and cover the entire cake with the remaining ganache.
10. Decorate with additional raspberries and drizzle with melted dark chocolate, if desired.
