2. Microwave the butter and chocolate in a microwavable bowl on medium for 2 mins, stirring halfway through.
3. Place the remaining cake ingredients and the melted chocolate into a food processor. Process until well combined. Pour into prepared pan.
4. Bake for 1 hr 30 mins, until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. Cool in pan on a wire rack.
5. Meanwhile, for the ganache, place the chocolate, cream and vanilla in a small saucepan on a medium heat. Heat, stirring continuously, until the chocolate has melted and the mixture is smooth. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and allow to cool. Refrigerate for 2 hours, or until thick enough to frost the cake.
6. Remove the cake from the pan and place on a serving plate. Generously frost with ganache. Serve with raspberries and whipped cream or ice cream.
