Equipment

  • 1 oven
  • 2 9-inch round cake pans
  • 1 mixing bowl
  • 1 electric mixer or whisk
  • 1 rubber spatula
  • 1 cooling rack
  • 1 sifter
  • 1 measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries You can substitute frozen raspberries if fresh ones are not available; just thaw and drain them before use to avoid excess moisture.
  • powdered sugar for dusting, optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour the two 9-inch round cake pans.
  • In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  • Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes.
  • Carefully stir in the boiling water until the batter is smooth. The batter will be thin.
  • Pour an equal amount of batter into each prepared cake pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Once baked, remove the cakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, transfer the cakes to a cooling rack to cool completely.
  • Once cooled, place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of fresh raspberries on top.
  • Place the second cake layer on top of the raspberries and dust with powdered sugar if desired.
  • Serve and enjoy your delicious Chocolate Raspberry Cake!

Notes

For added flavor, consider adding a layer of whipped cream between the cake layers or on top.
You can substitute frozen raspberries if fresh ones are not available; just thaw and drain them before use to avoid excess moisture.
