It&#8217;s easy to make despite how fancy it looks and it starts with two layers of moist chocolate cake with a fresh raspberry chocolate mousse filling and covered in a fudgy dark chocolate ganache frosting. This is a cake for special occasions, however when you discover how easy it is to prepare, you may be making it more often! I also think this cake would be ideal for Valentine&#8217;s Day.

For a full list of ingredients, check out the recipe card at the bottom of the page.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>All purpose flour<\/strong>\u00a0&#8211; you do not need specialty cake flour to make a wonderful chocolate cake. Just be sure to measure your flour correctly! Adding too much flour is the most common mistake and leads to tough and dry cake. The most accurate way to measure flour is using a scale. If you don&#8217;t have one then fluff your flour with a spoon, spoon it into your measuring cup and use a knife to level it off. This batter is meant to be quite runny so refrain from adding more flour to make it thicker.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Granulated sugar\u00a0<\/strong>&#8211; simple white sugar will keep this cake sweet and moist.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pure vanilla extract<\/strong>\u00a0&#8211; vanilla is essential to enhance the flavor of the chocolate. Do not leave it out!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cocoa powder\u00a0<\/strong>&#8211; you can make due with cheap flour, sour cream, milk and oil but you should get your hands on some good quality cocoa powder! It&#8217;s the main flavor and you want it to shine so use the best you can find. I love to use\u00a0this Dutch Process cocoa powder\u00a0for this recipe. Make sure you use unsweetened cocoa powder and not cocoa mix.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chocolate chips<\/strong>\u00a0&#8211; I fold mini dark chocolate chips into the batter and they mostly melt right in giving you these little fudgy pieces throughout the cake. It&#8217;s divine! Mini chocolate chips will suspend better and wont fall to the bottom of the cake like the larger size.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div id=\"AdThrive_Content_2_desktop\" class=\"adthrive-ad adthrive-sticky-container adthrive-content adthrive-content-2 adthrive-ad-cls\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\">\n<figure class=\"size-feast-content-720px-wide\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-20537\" src=\"https:\/\/scientificallysweet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/IMG_4434-er-720x960.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/scientificallysweet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/IMG_4434-er-720x960.jpg 720w, https:\/\/scientificallysweet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/IMG_4434-er-360x480.jpg 360w, https:\/\/scientificallysweet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/IMG_4434-er-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/scientificallysweet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/IMG_4434-er-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/scientificallysweet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/IMG_4434-er-180x240.jpg 180w, https:\/\/scientificallysweet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/IMG_4434-er.jpg 1200w\" alt=\"dark chocolate raspberry cake ingredients\" width=\"720\" height=\"960\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"AdThrive_Content_3_desktop\" class=\"adthrive-ad adthrive-sticky-container adthrive-content adthrive-content-3 adthrive-ad-cls\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\">\n<figure class=\"size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-20516\" src=\"https:\/\/scientificallysweet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/IMG_9514-er.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/scientificallysweet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/IMG_9514-er.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/scientificallysweet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/IMG_9514-er-360x457.jpg 360w, https:\/\/scientificallysweet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/IMG_9514-er-720x914.jpg 720w, https:\/\/scientificallysweet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/IMG_9514-er-768x975.jpg 768w, https:\/\/scientificallysweet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/IMG_9514-er-180x229.jpg 180w\" alt=\"frosted chocolate raspberry cake\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1524\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"AdThrive_Content_4_desktop\" class=\"adthrive-ad adthrive-sticky-container adthrive-content adthrive-content-4 adthrive-ad-cls\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\">\n<figure class=\"size-feast-content-720px-wide\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-20536\" src=\"https:\/\/scientificallysweet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/IMG_4460-er-720x960.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/scientificallysweet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/IMG_4460-er-720x960.jpg 720w, https:\/\/scientificallysweet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/IMG_4460-er-360x480.jpg 360w, https:\/\/scientificallysweet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/IMG_4460-er-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/scientificallysweet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/IMG_4460-er-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/scientificallysweet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/IMG_4460-er-180x240.jpg 180w, https:\/\/scientificallysweet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/IMG_4460-er.jpg 1200w\" alt=\"dark chocolate raspberry cake frosting \ningredients\" width=\"720\" height=\"960\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"AdThrive_Content_5_desktop\" class=\"adthrive-ad adthrive-sticky-container adthrive-content adthrive-content-5 adthrive-ad-cls\"><\/div>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Eggs<\/strong>\u00a0&#8211; two whole eggs will set the structure of this cake and help emulsify the batter.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sour cream &#8211;\u00a0<\/strong>one of the secrets to the best moist chocolate cake recipe is sour cream! And a lot of it. Sour cream contributes the dairy undertones, rich flavor and body (thanks to its high protein and fat content) that oil-based cakes lack. Full fat sour cream adds richness and dairy notes to this cake in the absence of butter.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Oil &#8211;\u00a0<\/strong>this is an oil-based cake. Although I LOVE BUTTER, oil makes cakes ultra moist since it is liquid at room temperature. Plus, with this intense chocolate flavor and the sour cream, you won&#8217;t miss the butter.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hot coffee<\/strong>\u00a0&#8211; this recipe is unique in that uses hot coffee in the batter. The hot liquid dissolves the sugar and activates the leavening agents so that the cake begins to rise and set instantly. It is also the reason why this cake is so moist.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dark chocolate<\/strong>\u00a0&#8211; you&#8217;ll need pure dark chocolate to make\u00a0the frosting. Anything between 50 and 70% cocoa solids will work, but I highly recommend dark chocolate with 60% cocoa solids. You can blend semisweet chocolate with my favorite\u00a0bittersweet chocolate callets\u00a0which are very convenient.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cream\u00a0<\/strong>&#8211; you will need heavy whipping cream which has 35% milkfat to make the filling and the frosting.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Raspberries\u00a0<\/strong>&#8211; bright, tart fresh raspberries are the star here. You will mash some of them and mix them into the filling and then layer in whole raspberries too.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div id=\"AdThrive_Content_6_desktop\" class=\"adthrive-ad adthrive-sticky-container adthrive-content adthrive-content-6 adthrive-ad-cls\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\">\n<figure class=\"size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-20513\" src=\"https:\/\/scientificallysweet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/IMG_0083-er.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/scientificallysweet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/IMG_0083-er.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/scientificallysweet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/IMG_0083-er-360x465.jpg 360w, https:\/\/scientificallysweet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/IMG_0083-er-720x930.jpg 720w, https:\/\/scientificallysweet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/IMG_0083-er-768x992.jpg 768w, https:\/\/scientificallysweet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/IMG_0083-er-1189x1536.jpg 1189w, https:\/\/scientificallysweet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/IMG_0083-er-180x233.jpg 180w\" alt=\"chocolate raspberry cake sliced\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1550\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"AdThrive_Content_7_desktop\" class=\"adthrive-ad adthrive-sticky-container adthrive-content adthrive-content-7 adthrive-ad-cls\"><\/div>\n<h2 id=\"how-to-make-the-best-moist-chocolate-cake-recipe\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS<\/h2>\n<p>This recipe is SO EASY and you can make it all with a bowl and a whisk &#8212; no mixer required if you don&#8217;t have one!<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>STEP 1).

oil<\/strong>\u00a0like pure sunflower oil for the cleanest flavor to let the chocolate taste stand out.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Do not reduce the sugar<\/strong>\u00a0&#8211; the right amount of sugar will make cake moist because it binds water so that it stays tightly in the batter and doesn&#8217;t evaporate excessively during baking.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Keep an eye on the baking time.\u00a0<\/strong>Set a timer for the first time stated in the recipe and check with a skewer &#8212; it should come out clean.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Do not use frozen

Heat 1 cup of cream in a small saucepan until it comes to a boil. Remove from heat and pour it over the chocolate in the bowl. Add honey or corn syrup, butter, vanilla and salt and whisk gently until smooth and glossy. Whisk in sour cream. Cover the bowl, place it in the freezer and stir every 5 minutes until thickened but not stiff. It will take 30-40 minutes. If you use the fridge it will take over an hour. Place the bowl in the fridge for about 20 minutes until thickened. Do not leave it in much longer or it will set up firm. If it is still really runny, then place it back in the fridge for another 5 minutes. Once thick like warm pudding, beat with a whisk until thick and lightened a bit. Stop whisking if it starts to look matte and thick &#8211; just whip a few times but it should still stay glossy. It will firm up as you spread it.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"wprm-recipe-20533-step-0-5\" class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction\">\n<div class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction-text\"><strong>Make the filling.\u00a0<\/strong>Take \u00be cup of the frosting and place in another medium bowl.
