I'm not a big fan of chocolate cake, but this one was really good. The ganache was rich and creamy, and the raspberry sauce added a nice tartness. I would definitely make this cake again.

This cake was really easy to make and it turned out great. The ganache was a bit runny, but it still tasted delicious. I would recommend chilling the ganache for a bit before using it.

The cake was a bit dry, but the ganache and raspberry sauce helped to make up for it. I would recommend adding a bit more butter or oil to the cake batter next time.
