Decadent Chocolate Cake With Raspberry Sauce Recipe #378993
Springform pans aren’t just for cheesecake. Use one to bake this rich chocolate cake, and indulge in every sweet chocolate-raspberry bite. I haven't tried this yet so the servings are a guess. Because it sounds so rich, it may serve more people. Cook time includes the chill time.
