Raspberry-Topped Chocolate Cake (Redux)

Raspberry-Topped Chocolate Cake

After quite some time, here I am again sharing on one amazing recipe that will have bakers--and eaters alike--jumping for joy.  The first time I featured this confection, I shared my inspiration behind baking this recipe and my sheer bliss at the final, beautiful and scrumptious results.  It was my second or so blog post on DMRFF, and I had a tendency to keep it rather minimal in those days, so much so, in fact, that I didn't even include the recipe! I'll just say the inspiration factor was in higher gear than the traditional recipe sharing on that day. (Smile.)

After receiving great feedback, both on and offline, about this beaut, I knew I had to complete the circle and finally share the accompanying recipe for all those who love to bake and/or devour cake as much as I do.

Decadent Chocolate Cake Layer

Baker's Note:  It will require a generous bit of time from start to finish, so plan for when you have some leisure time to spare.  Then enjoy the stimulating escapade of bringing this decadent, rich, chocolaty dream to life in your kitchen.  Finally, finish with the perfect adornment of "snow-capped" raspberries and tell me what's not to love?!

And now, as promised, the recipe, courtesy of Bon Appetit.

Happy Eating!
