How to Make Chocolate Cake And Frosting With Raspberry Filling
- **Preheat & Prep:** Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- **Dry Ingredients:** In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 cups granulated sugar, ¾ cup unsweetened Hershey's cocoa powder, 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder, 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda, and 1 teaspoon salt.
- **Wet Ingredients:** In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup buttermilk, 1 cup vegetable oil, 2 large eggs, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract.
- **Combine Wet & Dry:** Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing on medium speed for 2 minutes.
- **Boiling Water:** Gradually stir in 1 cup of boiling water. The batter will be thin; this is expected.
- **Bake:** Pour batter evenly into the prepared pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- **Cool:** Let cakes cool in pans for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- **Frosting:** While cakes cool, prepare the frosting. In a medium bowl, beat ½ cup (1 stick) softened unsalted butter with ½ cup unsweetened Hershey's cocoa powder until smooth.
- **Frosting (cont.):** Gradually add 3 cups powdered sugar and ½ cup milk alternately, beating on medium speed until light and fluffy.
- **Frosting (cont.):** Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- **Raspberry Filling:** In a small bowl, gently stir ½ cup seedless raspberry preserves with 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth.
- **Assemble:** Once cakes are completely cool, spread a layer of raspberry filling between the cake layers. Frost the entire cake with the chocolate frosting.
- **Enjoy!:** Slice and serve this decadent chocolate masterpiece!
