Chocolate-Raspberry Cake

6 ingredients
5 steps

Ingredients

  • 1 box devil's food cake mix 2-layer size
  • 2 chocolate mousse pkts, 2-oz. each
  • 1 cup cold milk
  • 1 cup raspberry liqueur
  • 1 jar sauce 12-oz. Raspberry Fudge
  • fresh raspberries for garnish

Directions

  1. 1
    Prepare the Devil's Food Cake mix as directed on the manufacturer's package. Bake the cakes in two 9-inch round cake pans that have been lightly coated with a non-stick cooking spray. Cool the cakes on a wire rack. Level the tops of the baked cakes and split each in half horizontally to produce 4 layers. Set aside.
  2. 2
    Prepare the chocolate mousse mixes as directed on the manufacturer's package, with one very important exception: Combine the milk and the raspberry liqueur, and use that mixture for the liquid (rather than a cup of milk).
  3. 3
    To assemble the cake, place the bottom layer on a serving plate and spread a thin layer of the raspberry fudge sauce over it. Use no more than one-third cup of the fudge sauce on any one cake layer. Next, spread about one-half cup of the raspberry-chocolate mousse mixture over the top of the fudge sauce.
  4. 4
    Repeat the process, layering the raspberry fudge sauce and the raspberry-chocolate mousse, until you reach the top layer of the cake. Use the remaining raspberry- chocolate mousse to frost the top and sides of the cake.
  5. 5
    Finally, and no more than an hour before serving, place a single layer of fresh raspberries on the top of the cake. Refrigerate. Slice to serve.
