Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups sugar

• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

• 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

• 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda

• 1/8 teaspoon salt

• 1 cup buttermilk

• 3 large eggs

• 2 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

• 2 ½ tbsps. Espresso coffee (dried)

• 1 cup hot water

Directions

Preheat the oven to 325°. Line the bottoms of two 8" round pans with rounds of parchment paper. Spray pans and paper with vegetable cooking spray.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk the sugar, flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

In a small mixing bowl, whisk buttermilk, eggs and vanilla.

In another small bowl or glass measuring cup, melt the butter in the espresso grounds and hot water.

Using an electric hand mixer, beat half of the buttermilk mixture into the dry ingredients at low speed. Beat in half of the coffee mixture, scrape down the bowl. Beat in the remaining buttermilk and coffee mixtures. Pour into the pre lined pans and bake for 30 minuets or until the cake slightly crakes or pops back….this may very for elevation and climate.

Filling

1 Pint Raspberries

1 ½ cups sugar

¼ cup water

Bring the water and sugar to a boil add raspberries and cook down till you have a syrup (nearly jam consistency). Cool and set aside

Once cake is cooled cover each layer of cake with 1 ½ ounces of Chambord liquor add 1/3 of your raspberry mixture and spread over the top of each layer.

Whip 1 pint of Whipping Cream to near peak add ¾ cup confectioners sugar and ½ tsp vanilla. Whip till peaks appear.

Place one half of the whip cream mixture over the first two layers and spread evenly.

Ganache

4 ozs. Bittersweet chocolate

¾ cup cream

Bring cream to a boil (sitting constantly) add chocolate remove from heat and cover for 5 minutes – uncovered and whisk fill smooth. Allow the Ganache to cover the top of the cake and drizzle down the sides. If you are watching your calories this is not the cake for you – but if you love chocolate – yummy!!!!
