The chocolate cake with rasberries, what is it? Any idea?

I need it!

It looks like a rich, moist chocolate sponge (maybe made with melted dark chocolate, and ground almonds replacing some of the flour, for added squidginess), with a filling of cream with crushed/macerated raspberries in it, and a ganache topping. Ganache is easy - grate or chop the dark chocolate, and put it in a bowl. Bring double cream almost to the boil, and pour onto the chocolate - stir while the chocolate melts into the cream. Allow to cool a little before pouring over the cake - it will set to a soft, glossy finish.

Incidentally, one of my family's favourite 'treat' puddings is raspberries and white chocolate ganache. Make exactly the same way as the dark choc version above, and then pour over fresh raspberries, and chill. It is indescribably gorgeous - unctuous, creamy, sweet and with the tang of the fresh raspberries.

Thanks, that sounds like it could be it, and it sounds utterly delicious. Will have to try!

I made an egg free choc cake that looked like that. Looks delicious

If you need anyone to come and sample it when you do make it, Quint - I am always available. [helpful]

I have a choc cake recipe that turns out looking like that one, filled with fresh cream and squidged raspberries or vanilla buttercream with squidged raspberries mixed in at the last minute. Topped with dark choc ganache.

There is a Jamie Oliver party cake that is just like that. Absolutely gorgeous, and our number one favourite family birthday cake.

It's in the Naked Chef I think, but is also listed here…

It has lots of fruit in too, so must be healthy! Grin

Can't see the picture but this chocolate and raspberry cake is delicious.
