Spray two 8-inch sound springform or silicon cake pans.<\/li>\n<li>Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt.<\/li>\n<li>Combine the milk, oil, 1\/2 cup of the preserves, the vanilla, and the sugar in a large bowl and mix with a hand mixer or fork. The jam should be mostly dissolved with the rest of the ingredients; some small clumps are okay.<\/li>\n<li>Add the dry ingredients to the wet in batches and mix until everything is incorporated.<\/li>\n<li>Divide the batter between the prepared pans and bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean.<\/li>\n<li>Remove from oven and let cool in pans.<\/li>\n<li>When the cakes have cooled fully, spread one layer of cake with a thin layer of the reserved\u00a0raspberry preserves (give the preserves a quick mix with a strong fork to get a spreadable consistency); spread a layer of chocolate frosting (see below recipe) on top of the preserves.<\/li>\n<li>Place the other layer of cake on top and spread its top with preserves.<\/li>\n<li>Carefully spread the chocolate frosting over the top, then ice the sides.<\/li>\n<li>Put a circle of fresh raspberries around the circumference of the top.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Chocolate Ganache-y Frosting<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1\/4 cup soy creamer (substitute almond creamer, or vanilla soy creamer. Vanilla will make frosting a little sweeter)<\/li>\n<li>6 Tbs margarine<\/li>\n<li>10 ounces semisweet chocolate chips (can be sweet chocolate chips)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ol>\n<li>In a saucepan over medium hear, bring the creamer to a low boil.<\/li>\n<li>Add the margarine and melt, turn off the heat, and stir in chocolate chips until smooth.<\/li>\n<li>Let sit for at least an hour. It should have a pourable consistency at this point.\u00a0If you want a spreadable consistency then refrigerate for an hour.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-186\" src=\"http:\/\/hungrychooi.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_1982-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"img_1982\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hungrychooi.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_1982-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/hungrychooi.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_1982-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-187\" src=\"http:\/\/hungrychooi.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_1988-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"img_1988\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hungrychooi.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_1988-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hungrychooi.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_1988-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/hungrychooi.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_1988-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-188\" src=\"http:\/\/hungrychooi.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_1989-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"img_1989\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hungrychooi.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_1989-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/hungrychooi.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_1989-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-189\" src=\"http:\/\/hungrychooi.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_1993-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"img_1993\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hungrychooi.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_1993-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hungrychooi.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_1993-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/hungrychooi.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_1993-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-190\" src=\"http:\/\/hungrychooi.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_1999-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"img_1999\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hungrychooi.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_1999-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hungrychooi.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_1999-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/hungrychooi.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_1999-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-194\" src=\"http:\/\/hungrychooi.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_2003-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"img_2003\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hungrychooi.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_2003-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hungrychooi.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_2003-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/hungrychooi.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_2003-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-195\" src=\"http:\/\/hungrychooi.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_2007-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"img_2007\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hungrychooi.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_2007-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hungrychooi.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_2007-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/hungrychooi.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_2007-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Credit: Vegan with a Vengeance<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This cake is delicious and you wouldn&#8217;t know it&#8217;s vegan!
