Preparation Steps
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, combine the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
- Gently fold in the fresh raspberries, being careful not to crush them.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
- To make the ganache, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan until just simmering. Pour over the chopped chocolate and let sit for 5 minutes.
- Stir the chocolate and cream until smooth. Let cool slightly before pouring over the cooled cakes.
