Ingredient Notes
Flour: A combination of all-purpose flour and cornstarch makes for a great cake flour substitute, so you still get that ultra light and fluffy texture. Cocoa Powder: Use an unsweetened cocoa powder–I recommend using natural cocoa powder rather than a Dutch-processed cocoa powder. Food Coloring: This is what gives our cake its signature red color, so that it’s nice and bright!Raspberry Jam: This gives our cream cheese frosting a bit of a twist. It’s sweet, fruity, and tart! (Feel free to skip this if you prefer a more traditional frosting. )
This cake is so easy, so moist, and so delicious! It has just the right amount of chocolate flavor, with the best cream cheese frosting.
