Guide

1. Sift your baking flour thrice and put it into a dough mixer. Add baking powder, cinnamon, cocoa, chocolate, and salt. Mix them at low speeds until properly mixed and well aerated.
2. Whisk butter and sugar together in a separate bowl until you get a light, fluffy mixture. Put the mixture into the dough mixer.
3. Add the remaining ingredients and mix at high speeds until you get a thick consistency batter.
4. Preheat the oven up to 350 degrees. Lightly grease three 8” by 2” baking pans and place parchment papers at the bottom of each pan.
5. Pour batter until ¾ full and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean when inserted in the center.
6. As the cakes are baking, mix sugar, lemon juice, and 2 cups of raspberry in a saucepan and cook on high heat. Keep stirring until the mixture thickens and becomes sticky on the spoon.
7. Set it aside to cool for half an hour and stir in one cup of raspberry.
8. Once your cakes are evenly baked, place them in a cooling rack and apply half of the filling on top. Place the other cake on top of the filling. Add another layer of the remaining filling and place the other cake on top to make three layers. Spread chocolate frosting on top and sides, then refrigerate the cakes overnight.
9. Garnish with the remaining raspberry, and enjoy with fruit juice.
10. Store the remaining in a refrigerator for five days.
