Dark Chocolate-Raspberry Cake with Chocolate Ganache

I combined a few recipes for this and I made this a few months ago so hopefully I'm providing the correct recipe since I didn't write it down... :/

Ingredients (for cake):
2 c. sugar
1 3/4 c. flour
1 c. cocoa powder
1 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
2 eggs
1/2 c. vegetable oil
1 c. hot coffee
2 tsp. v. extract
1 c. milk

Directions:
Preheat oven 350F.
Mix dry ingredients
Whip eggs, add oil, mix together... then add rest of wet ingredients
Combine wet and dry, sifting dry ingredients into wet.
Bake for about 35 min. in 9in pan or until toothpick inserted in middle comes out dry.
Makes 1 cake

Ingredients (for raspberry filling):
1 4oz. package of frozen raspberries, thawed
8 oz. raspberry jam

Directions:
Mix thawed raspberries and jam together

Ingredients (for chocolate ganache):
1 c. Heavy whipping cream
3/4 c. chocolate chips

Directions:
On medium low heat, warm up cream.  Do not let boil!
Slowly add chocolate chips.
Keep stirring until melted
Let cool, place in fridge to harden slightly if desired.

Let cake(s) cool before placing raspberry filling in between and ganache on top.



This cake was a hit so I'm definitely planning on making this again!
