choc_ck Raspberry Chocolate Cake - This sinfully rich, sweet, moist chocolate cake recipe has an abundance of chocolate in it! Started with devils food cake mix, we added sour cream for that out of this world moistness. We even added more chocolate, and to the chocolate frosting we added the subtle taste of raspberry, with some jam. Mmmm!

Cook Time: 25 mins
Servings: 6-8
Main Ingredient: Devils Food Cake Mix

Ingredients to make Raspberry Chocolate Cake

1 box devil’s food cake mix (1 pound 2.25 ounces)
1 cup water
1/3 cup vegetable oil
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup sour cream
2 12-ounce packages semisweet chocolate chips (4 cups)

1/2 cup seedless raspberry jam

Stir in 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips.
Step 2:Divide batter among prepared pans (about 1 3/4 cups batter for each). Bake until tester inserted into center of cake layers comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Cool cake layers in pans on racks 15 minutes. Run small sharp knife between pan sides and cake layers to loosen. Turn out onto racks; cool completely. Bring 1/2 cup raspberry jam and 3 tablespoons unsalted butter to simmer in heavy large saucepan over medium heat, stirring often. Remove from heat. Add remaining 3 cups semisweet chocolate chips and stir until melted. Add remaining 3/4 cup sour cream and 2 cups powdered sugar. Using electric mixer, beat frosting in pan until smooth and thick, about 2 minutes.
Step 3:Place 1 cake layer on platter. Spread 3/4 cup frosting over. Top with second cake layer. Spread 3/4 cup frosting over. Top with third cake layer. Chill cake until frosting sets slightly, about 15 minutes. Spread remaining frosting in swirls over top and sides of cake. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover with cake dome and let stand at room temperature.)
