Chocolate Fudge Cake With Raspberries

• Cake
• 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
• 1 stick butter, unsalted
• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 2 eggs, large
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/2 cup buttermilk
• 2 cups all purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
• 3/4 cup hot water
• Fudgy Chocolate Cream
• 3/4 cup dark chocolate chips
• 1/3 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 1/4 teaspoon Kosher salt
• 2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
• 2 boxes raspberries

1. Butter a 9" deep cake pan and preheat the oven to 350u0b0C.
2. Melt the chocolate in a separate pan and leave it aside.
3. Whisk butter together with sugar until you've obtained a frothy cream.
4. Add the eggs one by one and stir the mixture after each addition. After that, add both vanilla and melted chocolate.
5. Add buttermilk, flour, sodium bicarbonate and salt to the mixture. Continue mixing.
6. Add boiled water to the blend and use a mixer to obtain a smooth batter. Pour it into the cake pan and bake it in preheated oven for 30 minutes. (Remember to check occasionally by inserting a toothpick to make sure that it is cooking evenly).
7. Prepare the cream in a small pan using chocolate, fresh cream, vanilla, butter and salt. Blend all the ingredients over low heat.
8. Remove from heat. Gradually add sifted powdered sugar. Mix until you've obtained a plain cream.
9. Make sure to be ready to frost the cake right after you have completed the preparation of the cream to avoid it from solidifying. Cut the cake in half horizontally; place one layer of sponge into the dish you intend to serve it up in with the bottom facing up. Glaze using half the cream, add part of the raspberries and close it using the other layer of sponge (again flipped).
10. Spread a layer of frosting on the top of the cake, garnish with raspberries and sprinkle some icing sugar.
