Chocolate Raspberry Cake with Whipped Chocolate Raspberry Buttercream

February 13, 2018 · Leave a Comment

Chocolate Raspberry Cake | Dreamery Events There is one universal way to anyone’s heart, and that’s with food! Who would really pass up a home cooked meal or cake baked out of love, no one. Cooking dinner with your love or baking cookies with your kids is always an intimate, personal and fun way to celebrate Valentine’s day. Along with roses, chocolate pretty much reigns on this holiday, sorry anti-chocolate palettes, you’re truly missing out on heart shaped boxes filled with mysterious flavors where figuring out which is which is all in the fun. But today I’m sharing a chocolate Valentine’s day treat wayy better than a box o’ chocolates. Classic chocolate cake is lightly flavored with raspberry, filled with raspberry jam and coated in a fluffy whipped chocolate buttercream to create one of my all-time favorite frosted cakes. 

Peanut butter and jelly, Nutella and crepes; these flavor combinations were made for each other, as is chocolate and raspberry. Seriously if you haven’t had anything chocolate raspberry flavored than you are missing out, and NEED to give this cake a try! 

Chocolate Raspberry Cake | Dreamery Events If you have a favorite go-to chocolate cake recipe, use it! Simply swap out the vanilla extract for raspberry extract and instantly the rich chocolate is given a delicate fruity touch. 

I like to go thin with my cake layers when assembling this cake, it makes for even more layers of sweet jam that is lightly smashed with fresh raspberries. The more fruit layers the better! 

Chocolate Raspberry Cake | Dreamery Events To all the frosting lovers reading this recipe, this buttercream is your special Valentine’s day gift. I’m not a frosting person whatsoever, if you’ve read my blog through the years you know I’ll often pass even the most delicious cakes if covered with buttercream. But this frosted delight, I absolutely love! This isn’t just any chocolate frosting, this buttercream is whipped to fluffy perfection. It’s so good, it’s the only kind of frosting I have no issue eating a couple extra spoonfuls of. 

Lightly flavored with more raspberry, this chocolate buttercream completes this cake’s killer taste.  

Chocolate Raspberry Cake | Dreamery Events Did I mention it’s a classic cake that is quite simple to make too. Perfect for spending more time with the ones you love!

Chocolate Raspberry Cake | Dreamery EventsAnd if you want to make this all for yourself, go for it! You deserve to fill yourself with love and Chocolate Raspberry Cake this Valentine’s Day!

Welcoming Spring w. a Disco Tea Party !!🌸🪩 Welcoming Spring w. a Disco Tea Party !!🌸🪩

If there was a “party theme” that best describes me, I think it would be this.  A delicate explosion of psychedelic pastel blooms & pretty vintage tea cups, colorful retro glasses happily scattered amongst the disco ball reflections — ready to be filled w. the spirit you fancy best to sip & dance on the grass from sunset to moonrise to sunrise, as if at a Grand Ball, Woodstock or Studio54 …

This tablescape best showcases my love of all things 70’s; an era whose soul inspires me & is much of what I love … where delicate & wild flowers are flower power!

Then there’s the romantic at heart; who loves all things intricate vintage details, lush gardens, gilded affairs & tea parties brimming w. classical melodies.

I quite love this Spring styling & you can read/see more of it on the Blog now✨ … follow link in bio
