Raspberry Liqueur Chocolate Raspberry Cake
I am confident that it will not come as a surprise to any of you that one of my favorite combinations is chocolate and raspberries. It is the perfect balance of the richness of chocolate enhanced with the sweetness of raspberries; and it brings together the texture of the berries and the smoothness of the chocolate.
I am aware of the fact that I, already, have my Fudgy Chocolate Berry Bundt Cake on the Desserts Required website. Yet, Raspberry Liqueur Chocolate Raspberry Cake is nothing like that fudgy chocolate/raspberry cake.
Raspberry Liqueur Chocolate Raspberry Cake is still filled to the top with decadence but this one has a more cake-like vs. fudgy consistency and it has raspberry liqueur inside the cake. As soon as the cake cools in the pan for 10 minutes, it gets flipped onto a cooling rack and is brushed with more raspberry liqueur.
And that is what, truly, sets this chocolate/raspberry cake apart from all others.
When you are in the mood for a fudgy cake, you know where to look. When you are in the mood for a cake that is bumped up a bit in the sophistication category, Raspberry Liqueur Chocolate Raspberry Cake is the one you have to make!
