- 3 egg at room temperature, large
- 1 ½ cups milk at room temperature
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Chocolate Buttercream Frosting
- 1 ½ cups butter at room temperature
- 1 cup shortening

- 8 cups powdered sugar

- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Filling and Garnish

Instructions
Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray three 8-inch cake pans with nonstick baking spray and add a parchment circle to the bottom of each pan. Set aside.
- Whisk the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, and baking powder in a large bowl.
- Add the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla to the mixing bowl. Beat the mixture on low for 30 seconds.
- Increase the mixer speed and beat on medium-high speed for a minute and a half.
- Stir in the boiling water.
- Divide the batter equally between the three cake pans.
- Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the cake springs back when touched gently.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for five minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack and allow it to cool.
Chocolate Buttercream
- In the bowl of your mixer cream the butter, shortening, and cocoa powder together until well-combined.
- With the mixer on low speed, slowly incorporate the sugar until all of it is incorporated.
- Pour the milk and vanilla slowly into the buttercream. Continue mixing until light and fluffy, about two minutes.
To Assemble
- Trim off the domed top of your cakes so they are level.
- Place one layer on the plate or your cardboard circle.
- Spread a layer of chocolate buttercream about a quarter-inch thick.
- Spread half of the raspberry preserves on the buttercream.
- Repeat this with the next layer finishing up with a cake layer at the top.
- Spread a thin layer of buttercream around the whole cake.
- Place the cake in the fridge for 15 minutes.
- Add a thicker layer of buttercream around the cake and smooth out.
- Place the cake back in the fridge for an additional 15 minutes.
- Pipe swirls of the buttercream onto your cake using a pastry bag fitted with a star piping tip.
- Top each swirl with a fresh raspberry.
