30 25 55

Ingredients

  • 1 package (18-1/4 ounces) devil's food cake mix
  • 1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/3 cup canola oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
  • GANACHE:
  • 1 cup (6 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • RASPBERRY CREAM:
  • 1 package (10 ounces) frozen sweetened raspberries, thawed
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 4 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream, whipped
  • Fresh raspberries and mint, optional

Directions

  • In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, sour cream, water, eggs, oil and vanilla; beat on low speed for 30 seconds. Beat on medium for 2 minutes. Fold in miniature chips.
  • Pour into three greased and floured 9-in. round baking pans. Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
  • For ganache, place chocolate chips in a small bowl. In a small saucepan, bring cream just to a boil. Pour over chocolate; whisk until smooth. Stir in butter. Refrigerate until mixture reaches spreading consistency, stirring occasionally
  • For raspberry cream, mash and strain raspberries, reserving juice; discard seeds. In a small saucepan, combine sugar and cornstarch; stir in raspberry juice. Bring to a boil, cook and stir over low heat for 1-2 minutes until thickened. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Fold in whipped cream.
  • Place one cake layer on a serving plate; spread with half of the ganache. Top with second cake layer; spread with raspberry cream. Top with remaining cake layer; spread with remaining ganache. Garnish with raspberries and mint if desired. Cover and store in the refrigerator. Yield: 12 servings.
