This cake is so yummy I wanted to share with you. The picture is not really the exact cake but is close. It is very dense and rich. Yummy!3 cups sugar
3/4 lb melted butter
4 eggs
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp almond extract (I used Amaretto)
2 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 cup raspberry jam
1 cup mini chocolate morsels
3/4 cup sliced almonds
Preheat oven to 300.
Mix the sugar and butter in mixing a bowl on low. Beat in eggs one at a time. Add the extracts. Sift together dry ingredients and add to the batter, mixing until smooth. Pour into greased and papered 9" cake pan, reserving about 1/3 of the batter. Carefully smooth out a thin layer of the raspberry jam. Top with chocolate chips and half the sliced almonds. Carefully cover with the remaining batter. Sprinkle the top of the cake with the remaining sliced almonds. Bake for 1 hour and 45 min to 2 hours. Let cool for ten minutes and run a knife around edge and turn onto plate. When cool turn upright. Soooo delish!
