LUSCIOUS CHOCOLATE CAKE
There are few desserts that provoke so many comments about "decadence" as a truffle cake. Serve it slightly chilled, with a glass of cold milk as an innocent accompaniment.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Arrange two racks in center of oven. Line bottoms of three 9-by-2-inch buttered cake pans with parchment; butter again. Dust bottoms and sides with cocoa; tap out excess. Sift cocoa into a medium bowl; stir in 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons boiling water until smooth; gradually whisk in milk. Set aside to cool.
- Sift flour, baking soda, and salt into a bowl. Set aside. In an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter on low until fluffy. Gradually beat in sugar, scraping down sides twice. Beat in vanilla.
- Add eggs, a third at a time, beating after each addition. With mixer on low speed, alternate adding flour mixture and reserved cocoa mixture a little at a time, starting and ending with flour mixture. Divide batter evenly among prepared pans; spread with an offset spatula until level.
- Bake 20 to 25 minutes, rotating pans if necessary, until a cake tester inserted into the center of each cake comes out clean. Let cool in pans set on a wire rack, about 15 minutes. Remove the cakes from the pans, and return to rack to cool, tops up.
- Trim cake layers until level. Place one layer of cake on a cardboard cake round. Spread about 1 1/4 cups whipped ganache on cake; top with a second cake. Repeat. Spread remaining whipped ganache evenly over top and sides of cake to seal in crumbs and form a smooth surface. Chill until crumb coat is firm, about 30 minutes.
- Place cake (still on the cardboard cake round) on a wire rack set in a baking pan. Pour enough ganache glaze over cake to fully coat, shaking pan gently to help spread ganache if necessary. Let sit for 15 to 20 minutes. The ganache in the baking pan may be strained through a fine sieve and added back into glaze. Pour remaining glaze over cake; allow excess to drip off sides. If top is not smooth, gently shake pan, or run an offset spatula quickly over surface. Allow to set at least 30 minutes before serving.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Generously grease and flour three 9-inch round cake pans. Set the pans aside.
- Strain the raspberries through a fine-mesh sieve if you don't want the seeds in your cake.
- Place the cake mix, raspberries and their juice, sour cream, oil, and eggs in a large mixing bowl. Blend with an electric mixer on low speed for 1 minute. Stop the machine and scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Increase the mixer speed to medium and beat 2 minutes more, scraping down the sides again if needed. The batter should look well blended.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared pans, smoothing it out with the rubber spatula.
- Bake the cakes until they spring back when lightly pressed with your finger, 25 to 28 minutes.
- Remove the pans from the oven and place them on wire racks to cool for 10 minutes. Run a dinner knife around the edge of each layer and invert each onto a rack, then invert again onto another rack so that the cakes are right side up. Allow to cool completely, 30 minutes more.
- Meanwhile, prepare the Chocolate Ganache, adding the Chambord, if desired, after all the chocolate has melted.
- Place one cake layer, right side up, on a serving platter. Spread the top with ganache frosting. Place the second layer, right side up, on top of the first layer. Spread the top with ganache. Place the third layer, right side up, on top of the second layer and frost the top and sides of the cake. Work with clean, smooth strokes.
- Decorate the top attractively with the fresh raspberries, if desired. Place this cake, uncovered or in a cake saver, in the refrigerator until the frosting sets, 20 minutes. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- Ganache: Place the cream in a small heavy saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil, stirring. Meanwhile, place the chopped chocolate in a large stainless-steel mixing bowl. Remove the cream from the heat, and pour it over the chocolate. Stir with a wooden spoon until the chocolate is melted. Stir in the liqueur if desired.
- To use this ganache as a glaze, let it stand at room temperature for 10 minutes before spooning it over a cooled cake. To use the ganache as a frosting, let it stand for 30 minutes at room temperature, or chill it for 10 minutes, until it has thickened enough to spread with a metal spatula.
- Makes 1 3/4 C., enough to thinly frost a 2 - 3 layer cake.

CHOCOLATE-RASPBERRY TRUFFLE CAKE
This is originally from the "Christmas with Southern Living 2004" book, but I've adapted it somewhat to what I think is even better than the original recipe! I made this for four occasions over the past holiday season and everyone raved about it. It's very dense and has a wonderful flavor and I especially like the fact that I can make it a day ahead of when I want to serve it. Chocolate and raspberry- what's not to love!

Steps:
- Puree raspberries in a food processor.
- Press raspberry mixture through a wire mesh sieve, using the back of a spoon to squeeze out the juice; discard seeds.

- Heat the 1/3 cup sugar and the Chambord in a saucepan over medium heat until sugar dissolves, stirring occasionally.

- Remove from heat and add chocolate, stir until smooth and cool.
- (I heated the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in the microwave at 50% power for about four minutes, then stirred until smooth and then added the warm melted chocolate to the liquor/butter mixture-It seemed to make it a lot smoother and quicker).
- Whisk together the raspberry reduction,eggs, flour, and almond extract in a large bowl.

- Pour into prepared cake pan.
- Place cake pan into a larger pan (I used the broiler pan from the oven) and add hot water to a depth of one inch.

LUSCIOUS CHOCOLATE RASPBERRY CAKE
Three words; chocolate, raspberry, and cake! That's all you need to know! This cake recipe came to my mind because my makes homemade jam every fall, and we always have a ton. I thought it could be incorporated into a cake and I was right! If you are not a fan of raspberry than strawberry jam may be used instead! I use diet soda to cut the fat, I have not tried this recipe with yogurt, but I pretty sure it will work.
