Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup All-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon Baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup Granulated sugar
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup Buttermilk
  • 1 cup Fresh raspberries (plus extra for garnish)
  • 1/4 cup Granulated sugar (for mousse)
  • 1 cup Heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for mousse)
  • 4 ounces Dark chocolate, melted and cooled (for mousse)
  • 4 ounces Dark chocolate, chopped (for ganache)
  • 1/2 cup Heavy cream (for ganache)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8-inch round cake pan.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream softened butter with sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time along with vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture alternating with buttermilk until well combined.
  5. Pour into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  6. For the raspberry mousse, puree raspberries with sugar and strain to remove seeds. Whip heavy cream until soft peaks form, then fold in melted dark chocolate followed by raspberry puree.
  7. Slice cooled cake horizontally into two layers; spread half of mousse on the first layer and top with the second layer. Cover with remaining mousse.
  8. For ganache, heat heavy cream until boiling then pour over chopped chocolate; stir until smooth and drizzle over chilled cake.
