Elina's Raspberry Chocolate Cake
I'm afraid i don't know who elina is, but i like her cake! I haven't actually made this myself yet, but had it at a birthday party, with dark chocolate frosting and a dollop of whipped cream. Mmm! If you like the combination of fruit and chocolate flavours, give this a try! the cake gets better with time, so bake a day or two before serving and keep refrigerated.
