Description

Decadent chocolate cake smothered in lashings of cream cheese buttercream frosting and filled with juicy, tart raspberries—the perfect combination!

Ingredients

  • FOR THE CAKE:
  • 175 grams Butter, Softened
  • 175 grams Sugar
  • 3 whole Eggs (large)
  • 30 grams Cocoa Powder
  • 150 grams Plain Or All Purpose Flour
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
  • 3 Tablespoons Milk
  • FOR THE FROSTING:
  • 150 grams Butter, Softened
  • 100 grams Cream Cheese
  • 30 grams Cocoa
  • 150 grams Icing (Confectioners) Sugar
  • Fresh Raspberries For Garnish

Preparation

Preheat oven to 180°C. Prepare two 8-inch cake tin and grease, line, or coat with cocoa.

Beat butter and sugar together (I used a food processor) and then add one egg at a time until they are fully incorporated.

Add cocoa, flour and baking powder and slowly mix using the lowest setting on your processor, just until everything has combined. Add just enough milk for the batter to achieve a dropping consistency (start off with one tablespoon at a time).

Divide batter between pans and bake for around 20–25 minutes, until an inserted skewer comes out clean and the cakes begin to pull away from the edges of the tins. Remove from the oven and let the cakes sit in their pans for about 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack and allow them to cool completely.

For the frosting:
Beat butter and cream cheese together until soft and fluffy. Add cocoa powder and just enough icing sugar to make a spreadable, thick frosting consistency.

Spread around 1/3 of the frosting on the flat side of one of the cakes and then gently place the raspberries on top. Place the second cake on top (flat side down) and push down gently. Spread the remaining frosting over the top and sides, smoothing with a palette knife. For a finishing touch, add a few raspberries to the top of the cake.

Cut into slices and enjoy!
