Raspberry chocolate cake
Three layers of chocolate butter cake, layered with raspberry jam, Chambord, and raspberry silk meringue buttercream.
The dilemma with this cake...more buttercream, less, or none? I couldn't decide so I layered it with raspberry jam haphazardly.

Yum!
Amazing texture on the chocolate cake, very smooth and moist. I had mine with a mocha, which suggested that it might be even better with a hint of coffee -- maybe a teaspoon or two of ground espresso beans? I didn't have any strong opinions on the frosting, though the flavor might have been hidden by my drink.

I liked the slight fruity texture of the raspberry jam. The cake was perfectly moist.
I felt like the frosting was a bit heavy, but that's just because I like lighter cakes.
On the whole, it was so good I had to get 2 slices...

I would pay good money for a cake like this. Very light and fluffy so It doesn't feel like your stuffing yourself. Everything about the cake is great. Something for exploration in the future might be to add more Rasberry jam (needs a little more Rasberry taste) or even add more Rasberry to the frosting.
thanks, I really enjoyed it.

I really liked the frosting - it didn't taste like much at first, but after half a second, the raspberry really kicked in. I liked the texture of the cake, but I didn't think it tasted very chocolatey.
After eating the cake, I had a strong desire for coffee. You might consider making a mocha cake with that same frosting.

Mmmm cake with a hint of raspberry. No really, that was my reaction. The only thing that would have made it better would have been if it was warm and the frosting slightly goey. Perhaps a little more clumping/moisture inside the cake (chocolate chunks? coffee beans) to enhance the chocolateyness of it. On the plus side, no seeds!
