Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup packed brown sugar
  • ¾ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 ½ cups buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 2 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chopped
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen raspberries
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 2-3 tablespoons milk or water

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch Bundt pan.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • In a separate large bowl, combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vegetable oil. Mix until combined. Add buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth.
  • Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  • Carefully pour boiling water into the batter and mix until smooth. Stir in chopped semi-sweet chocolate.
  • Pour batter into prepared Bundt pan. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  • While the cake is cooling, prepare the raspberry glaze. In a saucepan, heat raspberries over medium heat until they soften and release their juices.
  • Press raspberries through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds.
  • In a bowl, whisk together raspberry puree and powdered sugar. Add milk or water, one tablespoon at a time, until the glaze reaches desired consistency.
  • Once the cake is completely cool, drizzle raspberry glaze over the top. Let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving.
