Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare two 8-inch round cake pans with grease and parchment paper.
In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, cream softened butter with sugar until light. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in buttermilk and vanilla.
Gradually combine wet and dry ingredients until smooth.
Divide the batter between the pans and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely.
For the raspberry filling, simmer raspberries with sugar and lemon juice in a saucepan until thickened; let cool.
Prepare ganache by heating cream and pouring it over dark chocolate chips; stir until smooth.
Assemble by layering raspberry filling between the cakes and pouring ganache over the top. Chill for at least an hour before serving.
