The Most Quintessential Raspberry Chocolate Cake

Presenting the world's most decadent 3-layer-rasberry filled chocolate cake. For my mom's birthday, she casually requested a chocolate raspberry cake. Let me say this---it did not disappoint. It was an epic tour-de-force of a cake because it is a 3-layer cake with a meringue-based buttercream frosting. I was handicapped though because my folks only had 1 cake pan and no electric beater. Whipping eggs by hand is brutal--but miraculously it all came together after.

Here's the recipe for the cake, the frosting was based on Martha stewart's buttercream frosting with added coco powder, and the raspberry filling.

To decorate, melt semisweet chocolate in a double boiler. Put into a frosting cuff or tough ziploc bag with a tiny hole. To create letters, write words with chocolate onto wax paper and cool in refrigerator.

You will love this cake!
