Heavenly Chocolate Raspberry Bundt Cake Recipes

Steps:

• For the cake: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Spray a bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray.
• In a large mixing bowl, use a handheld electric mixer to whisk the milk, jam, melted butter, liqueur and eggs. Add the cake mix and beat on medium speed for about 1 minute.
• Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and bake until a toothpick or cake tester comes out clean when inserted into the cake, about 35 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Remove the cake from the pan and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
• For the ganache: Put the chocolate, jam, and liqueur in a mixing bowl. Bring the cream to a low simmer in a small pan set over medium-high heat. Pour over the chocolate and let stand 10 minutes. Stir with a whisk until smooth. Let stand another 10 minutes.
• Place the cake on a cake stand or serving dish and pour the ganache over it, letting it drip down the sides. Use the raspberries and mint to decorate it to look like a holiday wreath if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®).
• Combine cake mix, yogurt, water, oil, eggs, and pudding mix in a large bowl. Beat using an electric mixer on low speed until moistened. Increase speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes. Stir in white chocolate chips. Pour 1/2 of the batter into the prepared pan. Drizzle raspberry jam over batter; lightly swirl batter and jam together using a knife. Pour remaining batter on top of jam.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 55 minutes.
• Remove cake from the oven and let cool in the pan on a rack for 20 minutes before inverting onto a serving plate.
• While cake cools, combine cream cheese and butter using an electric mixer in a mixing bowl until fluffy. Add vanilla extract; gradually mix in confectioners' sugar until combined. Place icing in a gallon-sized zip-top bag and refrigerate until ready to use.
• When ready to ice cake, transfer cake to a plate and snip the corner of the frosting bag using scissors. Drizzle cake with frosting.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F Grease a bundt or tube pan.
• Cream cream cheese with sugar and vanilla. Mix in chocolate chips and set aside.
• Stir together the flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt.
• Beat the eggs, gradually beating in the sugar until the mixture is thick and pale yellow. Beat in the melted butter, then the milk, water and vanilla. Gradually beat in the flour mixture.
• Spread half the batter into the pan. Drop spoons of the cream cheese filling evenly over the batter. Sprinkle raspberries over top. Cover with remaining batter.
• Bake at 375°F for about 1 1/4 hours.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• For Chocolate Cake: Mix granulated sugar, sour cream, whole milk, instant espresso, vegetable oil, whole eggs and vanilla extract in a standing mixer on low speed for approximately 2 minutes or until combined. Scrape the bowl and add the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and kosher salt. Mix another 2 to 3 minutes until cake batter is smooth. Pour into sprayed and parchment lined 10-inch cake pan. Bake for 20 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Set aside to cool.
• For Chocolate Mousse: Melt chocolate and set aside (keep warm). In a separate dish add powdered gelatin to cold water, set aside. Whisk together milk and egg yolks in a saucepan. Put on a medium flame and cook until 165 degrees F. Be careful not to over cook and curdle the mixture. Pour egg-milk mixture through a strainer into the melted chocolate. Melt the gelatin and water. Add to the chocolate mixture and stir until combined. Let chocolate mixture cool to room temperature. Whip the heavy cream to soft peaks and fold into the chocolate mixture.
• For the Ganache: In a saucepot combine heavy cream, sugar and unsalted butter. Bring to a boil. Take off flame. Add chopped chocolate to boiled cream let sit for 1 minute then stir until combined. Over-mixing will cause bubbles in the ganache. Only stir until chocolate is incorporated. Set aside.
• For Chocolate Buttercream: In a saucepan combine granulated sugar and just enough water to moisten the sugar. Bring to a boil, washing down the sides as you go with a brush dipped in water. Bring to 240 degrees F. As sugar is cooking, begin whipping the egg whites in a mixer on medium speed.. Increase speed, as sugar gets closer to a soft peak. Mix the unsalted butter, shortening and salt together. When sugar reaches temperature pour into whipping egg whites. Continue to whip on high speed until the mixing bowl is just warm to the touch. Quickly add the unsalted butter, shortening and salt. Continue to whip for 5 minutes or until buttercream comes together and is smooth. Add melted chocolate and cocoa powder. Whip until combined. Set aside.
• For Assembly: Slice 10-inch cake horizontally into 2 even pieces. Place first layer of cake in a plastic wrap lined 10-inch cake pan. Spread a thin layer of raspberry marmalade on top of the cake. Spread a thin layer of chocolate ganache on the raspberry marmalade. Spread a 2 1/2-inch thick layer of chocolate mousse on top of the ganache. Top with the second layer of chocolate cake and refrigerate for 1 hour. Remove the cake from the refrigerator and spread a layer of chocolate butter cream on top of the cake. Spread a layer of chocolate ganache on top. Put the cake in the freezer for 1 hour or longer. Remove from the freezer and gently pull cake out of the pan by pulling on the plastic wrap. Keep refrigerated until served.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• In a large bowl, mix together cake mix, pudding mix, sour cream, oil, beaten eggs, and water.
• In a small, microwaveable bowl, melt 1/2 cup white chocolate chips in 15-30 second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Pour melted chocolate into the cake mixture and stir until blended.
• Fold in the remaining white chocolate chips.
• Generously spray a 9" bundt pan with cooking spray. Pour in half of the batter, then top with raspberry jam. Top with the remaining batter.
• Bake 45-50 minutes, or until top is springy to the touch and a wooden toothpick inserted comes out clean.
• Cool cake thoroughly in pan for about 90 minutes before inverting onto a plate. If desired, pipe the top with cream cheese frosting.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease and flour a bundt pan and set aside.
• In a large bowl, mix together 2 1/4 cups flour, baking soda, salt and zest from lemon.
• In a separate bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in eggs and lemon juice. Add to flour mixture, then mix in yogurt.
• In a small bowl, toss fresh raspberries and flour together. Carefully fold them into the cake batter. Pour batter into the bundt pan and bake for 50-60 minutes (or until a toothpick stuck in the middle comes out clean - mine took about 55 minutes).
• Allow cake to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes and turn out onto a large plate (don't try to do it any earlier- it will fall apart! I wish I wasn't speaking from experience . . . ha ha!). Let cake cool completely, then drizzle with frosting.
