Make It Now Cooking Directions
Oven Cook
These directions are for cooking this recipe to serve immediately and NOT to freeze for later.
- Grease and flour two 9-inch round baking pans.
- Stir together sugar, flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt in large bowl.
- Add eggs, milk, applesauce and vanilla #1; beat on medium speed of mixer 2 minutes.
- Heat water to boiling. Stir boiling water into batter (batter will be thin).
- Pour batter into prepared pans.
- Bake at 350 degrees 30 to 35 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean.
- Cool 10 minutes; remove from pans to wire racks.
- Cool completely.
- While cooling, prepare frosting. Mix together cream cheese and butter until smooth.
- Then add vanilla #2 and powdered sugar.
- Once cooled place one cake topside down onto a cake plate.
- Tube a small amount of frosting around the edges of the cake.
- Then spread the raspberry jam on top and within the buffer you created with the frosting. This buffer helps the filling from spilling out onto the cake and the edges.
- Place unfrosted cake on top of the raspberry jam topped cake.
- With about half of the remaining frosting, do a “dirty frost” of the cake. This means frost with a thin layer to gather up all the crumbs.
- Place in a fridge or freezer for about 15-20 minutes to set.
- Then frost with remaining frosting.
