If it doesn't need to be a layer cake, I have the perfect recipe for you - if you can get your hands on fresh raspberries. It's really basically a round brownie with raspberries stuck in it, but it looks amazing and tastes even better. And really quick to make.





Chocolate Raspberry Brownie Cake





1/2 cup butter


3 ounces unsweetened chocolate


1 cup sugar


1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts


2 large eggs


1 teaspoon vanilla


2/3 cup flour


1+ cup fresh raspberries -- rinsed and drained





Preheat oven to 350. Butter and flour a 9 inch round tart pan with removable rim. In a 2 to 3 quart pan over low heat, stir butter and chocolate just until melted, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and mix in granulated sugar, pecans, eggs, and vanilla. Add flour and stir to mix well. Spread batter in pan. Place berries in circles starting at the rim (berries sticking upright). If you have enough berries to cover the top completely, go ahead, if not, just leave an empty circle in the middle. Gently press fruit into batter. Bake until top, at outside edge, cracks and feels firm to the touch, 45 to 50 minutes. Let cool in pan on rack. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.I need a cake recipe, that tastes really good %26amp; looks very fancy! For my Schools Cake Cookery competition?

a Red Velvet Cake always seems to impress people.





If you can get to a store, just buy a box of red velvet cake mix and use a white creamcheese or buttercream frosting.





If you want to make it from scratch, here is a link. It will take about an hour to make and frost the cake.
