Instructions
00:00 Introduction
Cake
00:21 Preheat oven to 350F (175C) and line the bottoms of three 8” round cake pans with parchment paper and grease and flour the sides. Set aside.
00:26 In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugars, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
01:15 Add oil and melted butter to flour mixture, stir until fully combined.
02:27 Add eggs and vanilla extract and stir until fully combined and batter is uniform.
03:03 Gradually add buttermilk, stirring until combined.
03:51 Slowly and carefully, add hot water or coffee, stirring until completely combined. Scrape sides and bottom of the bowl with a spatula to ensure all ingredients get incorporated.
04:36 Divide batter evenly into prepared cake pans and bake in preheated 350F (175C) oven for 24-25 minutes. When cakes are finished baking, a toothpick inserted into the center should come out completely clean or with a few moist crumbs.
05:25 Allow cakes to cool in their pans for 10-15 minutes, then run a knife along the edges to loosen from pans and carefully invert onto cooling racks. Allow to cool completely before decorating.
05:35 While cakes are cooling, prepare the raspberry filling.
Raspberry Filling
05:45 In a small saucepan, combine sugar and cornstarch, whisk until combined.
05:52 Add raspberries, water, and lemon juice and stir together.
06:17 Heat saucepan on your stovetop over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until berries release their juices and mixture starts to bubble. This can take 5-10 minutes, do not increase your heat from medium, you want everything to heat slowly.
07:00 Continue stirring constantly and cook until thickened (this usually takes me about 2 minutes after the mixture begins bubbling). This mixture will appear to only slightly thicken, you’ll notice that when you pull your spatula through the mixture you leave a trail.
07:33 Transfer mixture to a heatproof container and allow to cool to room temperature before proceeding.
Raspberry Frosting
07:50 In a large mixing bowl (or the bowl of your stand mixer with a paddle attachment) use an electric mixer to beat butter on low speed until smooth and creamy.
08:21 Add about half of the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and salt and beat on low speed until well combined.
08:37 Gradually add remaining powdered sugar, mixing on low speed, until all sugar is added.
09:35 While mixing on low speed, add ⅓ cup of the raspberry filling, a heaping spoonful (about a tablespoon) at a time, until all filling is evenly incorporated.
10:06 Gradually add heavy cream as needed and stir until icing is a smooth, pipe-able consistency. Place frosting into a piping bag with a large open tip.
Assembly
10:28 Once cakes are completely cooled, level cakes if needed.
10:48 Place one cake layer on serving platter. Spread a very thin layer of frosting over the top of the cake layer. Pipe a dam of frosting around the edge of the cake.
11:07 Spread half of your remaining raspberry filling inside the piped dam. Top with the next layer of cake and repeat the process.
11:35 Top with the last layer of cake. Use the rest of the frosting to spread an even layer around the sides and top of the cake. (I like to do a crumb coating on the cake and refrigerate for 15 minutes before doing the final layer of frosting). If desired, follow my instructions (linked in the ingredients above) for adding a ganache drip.
Ganache drip for decorating
12:44 For best results, chill cake in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving. - Jak na to + styl
Never get tired of the lonely stand mixer.
It’s high time she covered it with a paper bag with a sad face. 😅
I made your carrot cupcakes and cream cheese frosting recipes for Easter for my family and OMG they are the best recipes ever!! My family loved them
That's awesome! I'm so glad everyone enjoyed them so much! :)
Samantha;
I really like the way that you swirled the frosting for the layers, the dam, the top, & especially for the sides of the cake!

Carmi. 🎉
Thank you so much! :)
I spy baby pictures on the fridge! YAY!😉
Raspberry + chocolate is always a winning combo and this looks like something I need to make asap!
Justo lo que estaba buscando gracias,se ve delicioso
I cannot believe the boys aren't there. How would they miss out on this amazing looking cake? Sounds like you are over the cold. Glad for that.
They have a mind of their own. Sometimes all they want is to be in the kitchen, other times they don't want to be anywhere near me.
I really like this chocolate cake 🍫😋
I’m going to make this tomorrow, you have the best cake recipes. I know I say that a lot, I just want you to know how much I appreciate you and your camera people. Thanks 😊🎉
Thank you so much! I hope you love it! :)
I love this video and can't wait to make this cake. Thanks for making it look so easy.
This looks really good and delicious cake ❤😋🍫
I'm glad I finally got around to watching this video, I have some raspberries I need to make something with and this looks perfect!❤
I don't see how this could be better than the raspberry cheesecake,, but I'm thinking it'll be a close second! Oh wow, just think if the two were combined!!! YUM!!
That looks amazing!
Thank you! :)
Love anything chocolate 🍫 and raspberry! Love it! ❤️

I made this incredible cake, the only thing I did differently was I used strawberries. I took my parents a couple of pieces. My dad liked it so much he came over and got more of it. We all loved it, thanks.
That's so awesome! I'm so glad everyone enjoyed it so much! :)
I made it for my family yesterday and everyone loved it 😍 . Thank you so much for sharing ❤

Forgot to leave a comment sooner - I made this the week Sam released the video and it is fabulous - the raspberry, chocolate combo is hard to beat.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it so much! :)

I love Chocolate Raspberry cake got to try this recipe
I hope you love it! :)
Last night, I found and made your artisan loaf bread recipe and now I found your CZcams, and Sam, I love you and your content! I love how detailed you are! You're definitely a natural too! I look forward to making a bunch of your goodies! ❤
Thank you so much! I hope you love everything! :)
Sam that looks sublime! Moist light and definitely flavourful with the fabulous pairing of chocolate and raspberries! Quite a few components to the cake but your detailed demo is presented so clearly I’m confident to embark on this masterpiece. Thanks for sharing and recipe testing! It’s on my to do list! 💕🥰. Can never have too much chocolate cake! Even after Easter!!!!🤣🤣🐣🐇🌷
I agree! I hope you love this! :)
Thank you for this, Sam. I will definitely try this. My family loved the red velvet cake I made recently using your recipe. Your traditional chocolate fudge was also a hit last Christmas. From my family to yours, best wishes!
I'm so glad everything has been such a hit! I hope everyone loves this too! :)
This cake looks so good i will bmaking it
Thank you 😋 Enjoy!
Looks good was wondering if you could make a white chocolate raspberry cake 🎂 all your cakes look so yummy 😋
Going to make it next week 😊👍
I hope you love it! :)
DUDE! I made a version of this so many times for my son, it’s his favorite! I had to figure it out, because “what cake do you want for your birthday” resulted in “chocolate raspberry!” The cake itself had dark chocolate chunks in it, lol- because duh! 9x13 pan that I cut in two layers, and a chef friend recommended using preserves on the layers… so cake then preserves then icing, the icing was a Martha Stewart recipe, lol… heavenly.
Gonna try yours… but gonna add the chunks 😜
I can’t wait to try this cake. Chocolate and raspberries soooo yummy. ❤ Also every video I wait for sad stand mixer to do its little skit. Look forward to it every time. 😂 love your videos. Thank you and I wait for a recipe book from you.
Thank you! I am working on a cookbook, but it's a side project so it's taking longer than expected. If you follow on socials/blog or even here I will certainly make an announcement when it will be done. :)
You look ADORABLE
SO HAPPY FOR YOU
🙌👏👏🎀💃
Just give me a spoon to eat the frosting!!!
Beautiful! I suppose I could use the same cooking technique for strawberries instead of raspberries (?). Love both ...
Others have used strawberries here instead. I hope you love it!
Wowowow!!! I'm in LOVE w this flavor combo! I've been thinking of ways to combine raspberry w dark chocolate in some kind of way. And here you are sharing this amazing Chocolate Raspberry Cake combo! Needless to say, I'm gonna put this on my list of things to bake from you - I was ready to finally get to the Caramel cake..but this woo-boy! lolol.
Thanks so much for sharing your creativity and baking expertise w us! This is really a gourmet level recipe that I can't wait to try out!
You're welcome! I hope you love it! :)
Very nice recipie Sam! They looks amazing! Can we make the same recipie with strawberries? Congradulations for your new baby! Have a nice day and good weekend! Have a good week! 👍👏🍫🍫🍫
Thank you! I haven't tried using strawberries, but I think it could work. It will be a bit sweeter because raspberries are just a little more tart than strawberries. :)
@@SugarSpunRun Thanks Sam! 🙂🙂🙂
You can get powdered buttermilk in most stores should be able to find it with the baking things. you have to store it in the frig after opening. It is good for all baking items that call for buttermilk and it makes the cooked item taste richer.
Thanks for the tip! :)
Fantastic idea, dear. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I tried to make last time’s cake which was a black forest to look and taste like that but it turned out normal. 🤦🏻♀️😄 Tasty and creamy but lacked the fruity flavor I made an effort to add it in. Much appreciated for sharing this idea. 💞🌸🍃
👀 Ohhhh my goodness!!!! 😌🤤🤤🤤 I LOOOOVE Raspberries!!!😍 They are my #1 favorite!😍
Strawberry is right behind it, if not, right beside it/equal to being my #1 favorite or should i say, my #1&1/2 favorite?!! 😂🥰😋🍓🍰 **((Lately, I've been on a Berry craze! Lol! Berry cupcakes, berry frostings, berry donuts and I've even been obsessed with Strawberries & Cream Dr. Pepper soda. 🤭😂 I gott have it!😂))**
Sometimes, i feel like I don't run across enough Raspberry recipes.😢 Lol! So, I'm extremely happy to see this video!! 😮😋🤤😍 I can't wait to make this!!!!
Thank you, so much!!!😍🥰👍😊🤤🤤😋🍽🍫🎂💖❤️
This cake is perfect for you! I hope you love it! :)
Thanks for the recipe.
Def gonna try it🤤, but also gonna try it with pb butter cream. PB&J with gooey chocolate sponge🤪
Sounds good! :)
The bloopers! 😁 Your so adorable, baby brain, I've been there. Lol! I'm also naturally clumsy and goofy though, my husband says that's what he loves best about me. 😁 I made your easy chocolate cupcakes last night with your freeze-dried strawberry frosting for half of them, and your peanut butter frosting for the other half. Delicious! 😋 Soft as a cloud (obviously I've never bit into a cloud ☁️😁), but omitted the coffee for hot water, used avacado oil, cacao powder (has the vitamins that are removed in cocoa powder), and Zulka Morena pure cane sugar non-gmo. I use non-gmo everything, and only natural butter, avacado oil, unrefined organic coconut oil, and extra virgin olive oil are allowed in my kitchen. 😉 This new chocolate raspberry recipe looks divine (but no seeds). 😋 Have you ever tried dragon fruit? It has a very mild flavor and pairs amazing with strawberries, great in smoothies. I think the freeze-dried strawberries and freeze-dried dragon fruit would make a delicious cake and frosting, going to try it. Love and respect fron a home baker in Kentucky, Joanne. 💖🙏🏻✝️
I'm so glad you enjoyed the cupcakes so much, Joanne! I have never tried dragonfruit in a cake. I have had it as parts of other things and it is good. I'll have to try it one time. I like the substitutions you've made. Any little bit to have healthier ingredients is a good thing. :)
Yum! Looks beautiful and delicious.will this work with vanilla cake and frosting?
You look great, btw. When is the blessed event?
Looks yummy! Can I use cake flour instead?
Looks soooo good!! I’m going to make this for sure!!!❤
I hope you love it! :)
💗💚💚
Man, this sounds good. Does it have a coffee taste and is it ok to use expresso instead of regular coffee? Also, Do you have a list of bakeware equipment that you use?
It will not have a coffee flavor. The coffee helps bring out the chocolate flavor. You can use espresso, but I'd use a little less as it's a bit more potent. I do have a store on amazon you can check out. :) www.amazon.com/shop/sugarspunrun
THAT LOOKS SO GOOD. I am 100% making that. Also, can I use plain flour instead of all purpose flour?
No, that will completely ruin it.
Lol I have no idea what I'm talking about
@@bigmikeobama5314 you scared me for a second lol
Plain flour is the same thing as all purpose flour, just called something different. :)
2:03: The stand mixer sadness.
Love the combination of chocolate and raspberry. Can I sieve the raspberries to get rid of the seeds? Does it change the amount of filling?
You would end up taking out a lot of volume so I don't recommend it. :(
I’m pretty sure with the way she’s going this baby is going to be born a chocoholic! lol 😂
🤣
Amazing. Can I use "milk" instead of heavy cream. I want to make it like now and I don't have the cream.
Milk will work, you will just likely need a little bit less as it's thinner. :)
I made a cherry chocolate cake & rarely see recipes for it? Can cherries be replaced with raspberry ?
@Sam, Why do you do the “lonely, don’t need to use” stand mixer tune? 😂
Hi, what would the baking time be if I wanted to make this into a 2 layer 9" cake or even a 2 layer 8" cake? Thanks much.
I haven't tried it to say for sure so you will just want to keep an eye on them as they bake. :)
Hi Sam your cake looks amazing!!!!! I love chocolate and raspberry so much.😋 and my Mom's name is Samantha too!!!!! I will make this very soon. love Brissa❤❤
What a great name! I hope you love the cake! :)
Can we use dutch processed cocoa powder?
It will work in place of the dark cocoa
Is there a substitute for the lemon juice? Or would the sauce not come out right if something different is used?
You could just leave it out. :)
@@SugarSpunRun Thanks! Can't wait to try it!
Love Your Recipe Have a Question? My Husband cannot Have anything with milk in it he is allergic to it can I Just Use Water instead?
For the cake portion, I think you could make a buttermilk substitute using a nut milk. Nut milk will also work for thinning the frosting as well. :) czcams.com/video/nzXgl6ayZxc/video.htmlsi=AfdX9I2WhYD243c5
If lactose intolerant soy milk if intolerant to that oat milk. Soy is closest to the same proteins
so for the frosting can we grind the rasberries and then heat it so that its easy to make a smooth filling without seeds??
I've honestly never tried it so I can't say for sure how it would turn out. I think it could work. :)
Are you pregnant??? If so congratulations 🎉 you LOOOOOK AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL AND RADIANT💙🩷💙🩷
I will be making this cake tomorrow 😂
Thank you! I hope you love it! :)
Lovely Delicious Recipe Mam👌👌😋😋😋🥰🥰Full Watch ⏱️⏱️🤝🤝✅✅💯💯🔔💯
Thank you! :)
I use a fork to mix everything 😂
Talk talk talk

Yummy but can you provide a more simplified easier option? ❤
i have tried the recipe and it didn't work, i have followed your measurements and the cream turned into a shit, your measurements are horrendous, my girlfriend wasn't happy we broke up
