Chocolate Raspberry Swirl Bundt Cake

Make the raspberry swirl by beating together the cream cheese, sugar, egg and jam until all the ingredients are fully incorporated. The mixture will be loose so keep it in the refrigerator while you prep the cake batter.

Preheat oven to 350 F.

To make the cake, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cocoa powder and salt in a medium sized bowl. In a large bowl, beat together the sugar, butter, eggs, water and vanilla. Slowly beat the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until everything is fully incorporated.

Butter and flour a 12 cup bundt pan and pour in half the chocolate batter. Pour the raspberry mixture over that and top with the remaining chocolate batter. Bake in a thoroughly preheated 350 F oven for 1 hour. Note that a toothpick may come out clean after 55 minutes but the cake has so much moisture from the jam that it needs the extra five minutes in the oven. Cool completely (allow a couple of hours) before turning cake out of the pan.
