Ensure the chocolate is cooled slightly before adding to the butter to prevent melting the cream.
Use fresh raspberries for the filling to enhance the flavor.
If the layers are uneven, trim them gently with a serrated knife for a smoother finish.
Can I use frozen raspberries?
Yes, but thaw them first and drain excess liquid to avoid a watery filling.
What size cake pans should I use?
Use two 20-22 cm diameter cake pans for even baking.
Can I substitute dark chocolate with milk chocolate?
Yes, but the cream will be sweeter and less intense in flavor.
How do I store the cake?
Store the cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Can I make the cake layers ahead of time?
Yes, wrap the cooled layers tightly in plastic wrap and store at room temperature for up to 24 hours.
