Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 ½ tsp baking powder
- 1 ½ tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ cup raspberry preserves (with seeds for texture)
- Fresh raspberries for decoration
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 8-inch round cake pans.
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, beat sugar, eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla until smooth. Gradually combine wet and dry ingredients.
- Stir in the boiling water (the batter will be thin—don’t worry!).
- Divide the batter between cake pans and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool completely.
- Heat the cream until it starts to simmer, then pour over the chocolate chips. Stir until melted and smooth.
- Assemble the cake: Spread raspberry preserves and ganache between each layer.
- Drizzle the remaining ganache over the top of the cake for the drip effect.
- Garnish with fresh raspberries and chocolate chips for a final touch.
Notes
- Ensure the cake layers are completely cooled before adding the ganache to prevent it from sliding off.
- For extra texture, use raspberry preserves with seeds.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
