I want to make this but need to make it a 10 inch. Do I double the recipe?

In reply to Courtney Rich. I made it ahead and had to refrigerate it since I would not be serving it until hours later at night. I removed it from the fridge a couple of hours before serving and the frosting fell off the cake as I was slicing it, also the raspberry cake was way too dense. Seemed underbaked even though when using toothpick test it came out with no crumbs. So,good chocolate cake and good frosting and cream filling and the raspberry cake was dense but good taste. Sorry but this cake did not work out well for me.

In reply to Courtney Rich. If I do refrigerate it since I am assembling it earlier in the day how much time before serving should I remove from the fridge? Thank you for your help!

In reply to MN. Yes, you'll want to refrigerate it if you need to store it more than a couple hours. If you need to store it more than a day, I would freeze it. In all cases, keep it covered well.

if you make it ahead and don’t refrigerate it won’t it spoil because of the cream in the filling and the ganache? I can’t make it immediately before serving but I could do the day of but again don’t want to leave unrefrigerated if it has cream in the ganache/filling.

I noticed that for the raspberry cream, the recipe calls for a 1/2 oz freeze dried raspberries. Is this supposed to be a 1/2 cup?

Does this cake keep fresh once decorated? I’ve made the cakes already but I’m wondering if I can fill and frost it tonight to have for tomorrow evening? Would it be better to frost tomorrow?

I just made this for my niece’s wedding. Long story short, I found out at noon on Friday that she needed to have a cake for her 8:00 a.m. wedding on Saturday morning. This cake did not disappoint! It was so delicious and the different textures were perfect. I did make a full recipe of the chocolate cake so that I would have just a little extra cake to go around.

Hi! I want to make this cake for a birthday and i was wondering if i could freeze the entire cake(without the decorations and the ganache on top).I want it to be fresh even after 4 days. I know that it’s possible to freeze a cake with the buttercream on but i’m not sure about the raspberry cream filling. If not can i conserve it an other way??? Thank you!

The raspberry cream was unique and delish! Yum! The raspberry cake was a bit rubbery, not the usual amazing textures of your cakes. Flavor was good though.

I made this cake for my birthday a few weeks ago and it was a huge hit. I was a little surprised that the raspberry cake layer was so dense (more like a brownie than a cake) but everyone thought it was a great contrast to the chocolate cake layer. My husband AND son have requested this cake for their birthdays later this year, so I will be making it again in the future.

In reply to Brittiny. Bake each cake seperate and then split them in half length wise. Then stack like the layered cake version. Buttercream on top

How would you make this into a sheet cake? It looks delicious!

In reply to Bec. Yes and let them dry for a while so they weren't wet at all.

Do you rinse your raspberries before adding to the top?

I made the raspberry cream filling first, thinking I was going to do the rest tomorrow but my fiends have rescheduled our dinner plans until next week now, how is the best way to store the cream?

I made this for a friend’s birthday luncheon. The gals all said it was the best cake they had ever eaten. Folks at the next table asked if they could buy it. It certainly made me feel good. I love the fact that the different textures work so well together so well to give such a delightful bite with each mouthful. The raspberries work so well with the chocolate. A definite keeper and worth the time and effort. Thanks for such delectable recipes. I’m making the chocolate strawberry truffle cake for dinner guests tomorrow evening.
