  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

  4. Carefully stir in the boiling water.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pans and bake for 30-35 minutes.

  7. While the cakes cool, blend the fresh raspberries until smooth.
  8. Heat the heavy cream in a saucepan until simmering. Pour over the chopped chocolate and let sit before stirring until smooth.
  9. Once the cakes are cooled, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread the raspberry filling over the top, then place the second layer on top.
