Chocolate Raspberry Cake

Over the weekend, we celebrated the February birthdays with some of our friends!



My friend Abbie made a delicious cake... and she made it with a healthy twist!



Chocolate Raspberry Cake - Abbie

1 box chocolate cake mix (Devil's food or dark chocolate)
    • eggs and water as directed 
    • replace oil with applesauce
1 handful of raspberries
Whipping cream (whipped with a few drops of vanilla and a bit of powdered sugar)



Make the cake mix according to directions, but replace the oil called for with applesauce (1:1 ratio).

Pour the cake batter into two 8-inch cake pans.  Bake according to package directions.

Remove the cake from the oven, and allow to cool for 5 minutes in the pans.

Then, remove the cakes from the pan to cool on a wire rack.

On the bottom layer, spread some whipped cream.  Top with raspberries.



Then, layer the other cake on the top.

Frost with whipped cream!

{Yes, Abbie decorated this entirely with whipped cream!}



Enjoy!



Thanks, Abbie!  This was delicious.
