Chocolate Raspberry Mocha Layer Cake

Description

A good go to chocolate cake. I've changed this basic recipe to accomodate many different flavours over the years but my favourite is the raspberry. Has been enjoyed by many non-vegans who didn't even know the difference! I got this recipe when I was in high school from a friend. Frost the cake with my Easy Chocolate Icing, Easy Chocolate Icing (Vegan). You can change the jam in the recipe easily, or cook down fresh berries with a little water and thicken with cornstarch and use that instead. I have also doubled the icing and flavoured half with mint extract and used that as the filling.
