Step #1 Prepare the Devil's Food Cake mix as directed on the manufacturer's package.
Step #2 Bake the cakes in two 9-inch round cake pans that have been lightly coated with a non-stick cooking spray.
Step #3 Cool the cakes on a wire rack.
Step #4 Level the tops of the baked cakes & split each in half horizontally to produce 4 layers.
Step #5 Set aside.
Step #6 Prepare the chocolate mousse mixes as directed on the manufacturer's package, with one very important exception: mix the milk & the raspberry liqueur, & use that mixture for the liquid (rather than a c of milk).
Step #7 To assemble the cake, place the bottom layer on a serving plate and spread a thin layer of the raspberry fudge sauce over it.
Step #8 Use no more than one-third c of the fudge sauce on any one cake layer.
Step #9 Next, spread about one-half c of the raspberry-chocolate mousse mixture over the top of the fudge sauce.
Step #10 Repeat the process, layering the raspberry fudge sauce & the raspberry-chocolate mousse, until you reach the top layer of the cake.
Step #11 Use the remaining raspberry- chocolate mousse to frost the top & sides of the cake.
Step #12 Finally, & no more than an hr before serving, place a single layer of fresh raspberries on the top of the cake.
Step #13 put in the fridge.
Step #14 Slice to serve.
Step #15 Kitchen Staff Tip: Can't find fruit-flavored fudge sauces at your local grocer? No problem.
Step #16 Simply mix a few tbsps of raspberry liqueur into a conventional fudge sauce & return it to the bottle, clearly re-labeled.
Step #17 The enhanced flavor is perfect for today's recipe, & is also great served over plain vanilla ice cream with a few beautiful, fresh raspberries.
Step #18 --.
