Expert Tips

  • Try switching out the flavor of this cake! Instead of raspberries, stir in fresh strawberries, banana slices, or even rainbow candy sprinkles for a fun twist!
  • Lighten the flavor of the chocolate ganache by switching out half of the dark chocolate for milk chocolate. It will lend a bit of extra sweetness!
