  • ½ cup dark chocolate, chopped

  • Garnish:
  • ½ cup fresh raspberries

Instructions

  • Prepare the Raspberry Jelly Layer:
  • In a saucepan, combine fresh raspberries and sugar.
  • Heat over medium, stirring occasionally, until raspberries break down.
  • Add dissolved gelatin and stir until fully incorporated.
  • Remove from heat and let cool slightly before refrigerating to set.
  • Make the Chocolate Mousse:

  • Fold in melted and cooled dark chocolate until smooth.
  • Refrigerate until ready to assemble.
  • Assemble the Cake:
  • Slice the chocolate cake into layers.
  • Place the first layer on a serving platter.
  • Spread a layer of chocolate mousse over the cake.
  • Add a layer of raspberry jelly, then another layer of mousse.
  • Repeat layers, finishing with mousse on top.
  • Prepare the Chocolate Ganache:
  • Heat heavy cream until simmering.
  • Pour over chopped dark chocolate and let sit for 2-3 minutes.
  • Stir until smooth and glossy.
  • Let cool slightly before pouring over the assembled cake.
  • Garnish and Serve:
  • Top the cake with fresh raspberries.
  • Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow layers to set.

Notes

  • Ensure the gelatin is fully dissolved to avoid any graininess in the jelly layer.
  • For an extra touch, sprinkle shaved chocolate over the ganache before it sets.
