  • 12-14 Servings
  • Prep: 30 min. + chilling Bake: 25 min. + cooling

Ingredients

  • 1 package (18-1/4 ounces) chocolate fudge cake mix
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup currant jelly, warmed
  • 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 3 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
  • 1 can (16 ounces) vanilla frosting
  • 1 carton (8 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed
  • 2 pints fresh raspberries

Directions

  • Prepare cake mix according to package directions. Stir in vanilla. Pour into two greased and floured 9-in. heart-shaped or 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.
  • While cakes are still warm, poke several holes in cakes with a meat fork or wooden skewer to within 1/4 in. of bottom. Brush jelly over top and sides of cakes.
  • In a small saucepan, combine cream and chocolate; cook and stir over low heat until chocolate is melted. Brush over top and sides of cakes several times, allowing mixture to absorb between brushings. Cool completely.
  • In a large bowl, beat frosting until fluffy; fold in whipped topping. Spread frosting between layers and over the top and sides of cake. Garnish with raspberries. Refrigerate for 2 hours before cutting. Yield: 12-14 servings.
