Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch cake pan.

  2. 2

    In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

  3. 3

    Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

  4. 4

    In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

  5. 5

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the whole milk. Mix until just combined.

  6. 6

    In a small bowl, toss the raspberries with a tablespoon of flour (this helps keep them from sinking) and gently fold them into the batter.

  7. 7

    Pour half of the chocolate batter into the prepared cake pan. Spoon dollops of raspberry jam over the batter, then swirl with a knife to create a marbled effect.

  8. 8

    Pour the remaining chocolate batter on top and add more raspberry jam on top, swirling again if desired.

  9. 9

    Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  10. 10

    Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

  11. 11

    Once cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar and garnish with fresh raspberries.

Chef's Notes

Serve the cake on a beautiful platter. Cut it into squares and place a fresh raspberry on top of each slice for an enticing look. Drizzle with additional raspberry sauce if desired.
