  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup hot water

For the Raspberry Filling:

  • 2 cups fresh raspberries
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

For the Chocolate Ganache:

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

Directions

Making the Chocolate Cake Layers:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Add the eggs, buttermilk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until well combined.
  4. Gradually stir in the hot water until the batter is smooth.
  5. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.

Baking:

  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
  2. Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Making the Raspberry Filling:

  1. In a saucepan, combine the raspberries, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice.
  2. Cook over medium heat, stirring gently, until the raspberries break down and the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and let it cool.

Assembling the Torte:

  1. Once the cake layers and raspberry filling have cooled, place one cake layer on a serving plate.
  2. Spread the raspberry filling evenly over the top of the cake layer.
  3. Place the second cake layer on top.

Making the Chocolate Ganache:

  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the heavy cream until it’s hot but not boiling.
  2. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips or chopped chocolate. Let it sit for a minute, then stir until smooth and glossy.
  3. Let the ganache cool slightly before pouring it over the assembled cake. Spread it evenly on top, allowing it to drip down the sides for a decorative effect.
