One-bowl Chocolate Cake with Raspberries
Rich, moist, deeply chocolatey and slightly nutty. Oh yes, this one layer chocolate cake recipe is simply the best. It’s made from scratch, in less than one hour. Sure, you need to place it in the fridge for a couple of hours to set, but that will only help the chocolate raspberry cake to set properly. The interior is creamy, soft and delicious and the exterior beautifully velvety from a thin layer of cocoa powder. This one-bowl cake is very satisfying, so we usually cut smaller slices, but if you are a big chocoholic, definitely go for larger slices. This is a very easy chocolate cake recipe that is perfect for beginner bakers since you only need one bowl and that’s it. Simple and delicious.

What can I use instead of raspberries?

There are other options. You can use fresh blackberries, fresh strawberries or fresh blueberries. When berries aren't in season, simply serve the cake with vanilla-flavored whipped cream.
