Deep Chocolate Raspberry Cake Recipe Reviews - Allrecipes.com (Pg. 1)
Reviewed: Mar. 31, 2013
I followed the recipe and instruction exactly, except I used fresh raspberry for the filling. No professional reason. My store was out of frozen raspberry. The cake came out dense and moist. It turned out not too sweet, very elegant chocolate cake. I'd say use very good quality chocolate. A small piece satisfying me. It takes a little work, but definitely worth it. I would save this recipe for special occasion like someone's birthday or anniversary.

The cake turns out more like a brownie consistency but I loved it :) I made it for a friend's birthday and people adored the cake. Thank you!

This was the richest cake I ever made! It was LOVED by my family but it took hours and many mixing dishes. I would have given it 5 stars but there should have been a better option/directions on making a raspberry filling from scratch. I also only baked it for 30 mins based on comments and the cake layers were perfect! The icing was super runny- I just dumped it on. It looked great anyway flowing all over and around the cake.

I'm only giving this recipe 2 stars. I made a lot of different changes myself to this recipe. It wasn't really completely bad, it just wasn't what I was looking for. First off, I saw some people complaining about the cake batter being thick... well, yes... I mean, you're working with chocolate ;) lol... I won't make the cake batter again though. The cake itself was tasty, but there was a weird hard shell around it when it cooled. If you like to decorate your cakes like I do, then this isn't the cake you want. The filling was just way to sweetly tart to care for. And chocolate makes raspberries more tart. I only used semi sweet choc, dont care for anything else! The icing was way too drippy to spread. After having it in the fridge for about an hour it was still gooey, so I made it into a chocolate buttercream... delish, probably the best part of the cake!! Well, besides my decoration ;) hahaa.. on that note... I probably won't make this cake again, just the frosting part.. but cootos to all of those that enjoyed it. My mom and sister loved it and it was for them, for mothers day today. I guess it was a success in that sense!!! Thanks for the recipe!

I was disappointed with this recipe. The cake came out super dense, dry and the taste was very bland. It has similar consistency to a flourless chocolate cake. It also took a very long time to prepare. In the future I'll make the cake with a different recipe, but do the raspberry filling with the ganache-like frosting.

It's toooo rich. Not too sweet, but too fat and too chocolaty. Otherwise it tastes fine. Also, it's not a "cake", it's more like a fudge. I made it and only one friend liked it, and he has always liked super sweet or super rich dessert. I also doubled the rapsberry filling.

This cake is wonderful and fluffy. Once when I made it, I got a drop of yolk in the whites. At the time, I was newer to baking and figured it was okay. It's not. The whites won't fluff and the cake will be flat. Be careful!
