The combination of raspberries and chocolate in this simple slow cooked dessert is delicious!
I will just start off by saying that this dessert is not pretty. It was really hard to photograph and I almost did not share it, but it was so good that I knew I had to share it. It may not be pretty, but it is delicious!
There are many names for this basic dessert that is part pudding part cake. It is often called hot fudge cake, hot fudge sundae cake, chocolate cobbler, chocolate pudding cake, and I am sure a few other names that I am forgetting. Whatever you call it, it is delicious!
Today I am changing it up a little by adding some raspberries. Raspberries and chocolate are the perfect combination!
The original chocolate recipe really doesn’t not need anything added. It is great on its own, but since raspberries and chocolate are a classic combination I knew I needed to give it a try with some raspberries added.
Once I tried this I wondered why I had never thought to try it before. It is so good! When this bakes it gives you a layer of pudding and a layer of cake.
Adding the raspberries to that cake and pudding takes the flavor to a whole new level. It is part chocolate pudding and part chocolate raspberry cake. So very good!

I was on my way to make a different dessert tonight, but I want to try this! I have some strawberries that need to be cooked so thinking this sounds fantastic, but I may have to make the raspberry version later!
