A friend of mine recently brought a chocolate raspberry cake to a church dinner. I did not get a chance to have a piece, so she sent some cake home with me. It was so good. I love the combination of raspberry and chocolate. They just seem to go together so well.
Before I ate the cake I took a picture of it. My daughter asked why I was taking a picture and I said that if it was good I would post it on my site. She then said, but you can’t because you did not make it. I told her it would be fine, if I said that I did not make it. She was still not convinced that it was okay, even though I assured her that I would say it was not my cake. I tried to explain to her that it was such a good cake I thought others would like it.
So, to be sure I give credit where it is due, thank you Darlene for sending me home some of your cake and for passing the recipe on to me.

Your cake looks absolutely wonderful!
I’ve never met a combination of chocolate and raspberry that wasn’t great! This looks good and fairly easy to make. My son says his mouth is watering from looking at the photo. 🙂 Thanks for sharing the recipe!

Yum, this looks good and I too love the taste combination of chocolate and raspberry.
I love the combo of raspberry and chocolate, I can’t wait to try this!
I have had this exact cake except with a mint filling – I think they used creme de menthe or mint extract and a tad bit of green food coloring. The raspberry sounds delicious – especially if you have some homemade jam. I will have to try it this way – Thanks!
Looks delicious. You can’t go wrong with chocolate and raspberries!
I love things that look pretty and taste good too! This is a nice recipe
Oh, wow! This sounds delish, Lynn! 😀
I generally loathe the whole chocolate-raspberry combo, but that cake looks delish. I think I really like the look of that frosting on top. Maybe I’ll just make some of that and top a fudge cake.
Mmmmm…..
Made this yesterday, so good! I love chocolate and raspberry together and this was super easy and yummy!! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for letting me know. I agree, chocolate and raspberry go so well together.
