- Gradually blend the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and then add hot coffee or water for a smooth batter.
- Divide the batter between the two pans and bake for 25 to 30 minutes.
- Cool the cakes in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn them out to cool completely.
- Prepare the raspberry filling by mixing together the raspberry jam and fresh raspberries.
- Heat the heavy cream until simmering, then pour it over chopped chocolate to make the ganache.
- Assemble the cake by layering chocolate cake, raspberry filling, and then another layer of cake.
