    This easy Chocolate Raspberry Bundt Cake is moist and totally packed with chocolatey flavor. A great easy dessert to make for any occasion!

    I love every single thing about this yummy cake, including how easy it is to make. The only teeny-tiny hiccup I ran into was getting the cake out of the pan intact. The raspberries and jam made the bottom of the cake a little extra gooey, which is delicious but just a tad messy.

    Allow the cake to cool for 10 full minutes before trying to separate it from the pan and use a butter knife to loosen the sides before inverting it onto a serving plate. If you do lose a few little chunks, put them back in place, cover with ganache and no one will ever know.

    HOW TO MAKE CHOCOLATE RASPBERRY BUNDT CAKE

    STEP 1

    Preheat the oven to 350°F and generously spray a 12-cup bundt can with cooking spray. Using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or a large mixing bowl with a hand mixer), combine the butter, sugar, eggs and vanilla and beat on medium speed until creamy and free of lumps.

    STEP 2

    In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Mix well. Gradually add to the butter mixture and beat on medium speed until just combined.

    Add the sour cream and Nutella and mix until combined. Add the coffee and milk and mix on medium speed for 30 seconds. Fold in the 1 cup of fresh raspberries and the chocolate chips.

    STEP 3

    Pour 2/3 of the batter into the prepared pan. Spoon the raspberry jam over the batter in the pan, creating a circle in the middle.

    Top with the remaining batter and bake in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes.

    Use a butter knife to loosen cake from edges of pan and carefully invert the cake onto a serving plate. Allow to cool completely. Prepare the Chocolate Ganache while the cake is baking and cooling.

    WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GANACHE AND GANACHE FROSTING

    Ganache and Ganache Frosting are made with the same ingredients, but using different ratios of cream to chocolate. Ganache usually refers to a glaze that is drizzled over baked goods and ganache frosting refers to a spreadable frosting or filling for baking goods.

    Allowing ganache to cool in the fridge will make it thicker (much like the frosting), but it also causes it to lose its “drippy” quality that ganache is known for.

     

    A more glaze-like ganache would be tasty, as well, but I loved the more spreadable version for this particular cake. This was a cake that went straight to the freezer because consuming entire cakes in one sitting is frowned upon.

      Mmmm. This was delicious. I live in West Africa but found frozen raspberry pieces at the French supermarket. My favorite berries are raspberries and they are nowhere to be found here, nor the jam. I had to make a few adjustments -normal for living here – but my husband said it was the best cake he’s had, and I have to agree! In looking for a chocolate raspberry bundt cake recipe, I kept finding ones that started with a cake mix, or had cream cheese in it, both of which are not easy to find here. Thank you for this easily adaptable and delicious recipe!

      Hi Lynn,

      Can I eliminate the coffee and Nutella without compromising the taste?

        You can eliminate those and add more chocolate if you wish or just omit them. Thanks for asking!

      This looks and sounds amazing. I would love to make it, but I need to find a substitute for Nutella (nut allergies). Any ideas?

        Hi Lynn, I haven’t used any nut free options but I see there are many out there. Let me know if you find one! Otherwise, just omitting it would work too. You’ll have a great fudgy chocolate.
