CHOCOLATE CAKE WITH RASPBERRY BUTTERCREAM
Steps:
- For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease two 9-by-2-inch round cake pans; dust the pans with flour, and knock out excess.
- In a large measuring cup, combine the buttermilk, coffee, vanilla and 1 1/2 cups water. In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add the sugar, flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Mix on low speed. Mix in the butter and eggs, and then slowly add the buttermilk mixture, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake until the cake layers begin to pull away from sides of the pan and a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean, 22 to 25 minutes.
- For the Swiss meringue buttercream: Add the sugar and egg whites to a heatproof stand mixer bowl, and set over a pan of simmering water. Whisking constantly, heat until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture registers 160 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. Transfer the bowl to the stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, and beat on medium-high speed until fluffy and cooled, about 10 minutes. Continue beating until stiff, glossy peaks form. Reduce the speed to medium-low and add the butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the vanilla. (Makes 7 cups. See Cook's Note.)
- For the raspberry buttercream: In a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment, beat 800 grams of the Swiss meringue buttercream together with the raspberry puree until fully incorporated. (Makes 4 cups.)
- To assemble: Level and tort both cakes--you will end up with 4 layers of cake. Place one cake layer on a serving platter; add about a 1/2-inch layer of the raspberry buttercream. Repeat until you have 4 stacked layers of cake and 3 layers of filling. Frost the cake with the remaining Swiss meringue buttercream.

Steps:
- Puree berries with granulated sugar in a food processor until smooth. Pass mixture through a fine sieve into a bowl, pressing on solids to extract as much liquid as possible.
- In another bowl, beat butter on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Reduce speed to medium and add confectioners' sugar, 1/2 cup at a time, beating well after each addition and scraping down sides of bowl as needed. Beat in berry puree. Frosting can be stored in refrigerator up to 2 days; bring to room temperature and beat on low speed until smooth again before using.
VANILLA CAKE WITH RASPBERRY FILLING & LEMON BUTTERCREAM ICIN
I got this recipe out of a Southern Living cookbook but I only make it for special occasions. Every time I make it I only get one slice (it's supposed to feed 16 but good luck with that). It's not diet friendly but can be altered to your liking. The cake itself is excellent with any type of icing or even by itself. When storing this cake it's best to store it in the fridge just to keep the icing from falling off.

RASPBERRY WHITE CAKE
In this classic layer cake, egg whites serve as a leaven; they also give the mountainous frosting all its loft. Cake flour keeps this fruity dessert light and airy, and fresh raspberries are folded into the batter for a pop of color and juicy, tart flavor.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Coat three 8-inch round cake pans with cooking spray, line bottoms with parchment, and coat again. Whisk together flour, salt, and 1/2 cup sugar. In a separate bowl, combine cream, milk, baking powder, and egg whites. Whisk in vanilla, almond extract, and remaining 1/2 cup sugar.
- Fold in flour mixture. Fold in raspberries, then divide among pans. Bake until golden and top springs back when touched, about 25 minutes. (Each cake layer will be approximately 1/2 inch in height.) Let cool in pans 30 minutes. Remove; let cool completely on a wire rack.
- Spread half the jam over top of 1 cake layer, and sandwich with another layer. Repeat with remaining jam and layer. Swirl frosting over top and sides of cake. Sprinkle top with coconut.
Tips:
- Use fresh or frozen raspberries for the best flavor. If using frozen raspberries, thaw them completely before using.
- Make sure the butter and cream cheese are softened to room temperature before creaming them together. This will help to ensure a smooth and creamy frosting.
- If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a spoon to spread the frosting on the cake. Just be sure to smooth it out evenly.
- Decorate the cake with fresh raspberries, chocolate chips, or other desired toppings.
- Store the cake in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Bring it to room temperature before serving.
