### Raspberry Chocolate Drip Cake
#### Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 8 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
- 1/2 cup raspberry puree
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- Powdered sugar for dusting
#### Preparation Steps
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 6-inch round cake pans.
2. In a bowl, mix flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
3. In another bowl, beat 3/4 cup butter and granulated sugar until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
4. Gradually add dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with milk. Mix until smooth.
5. Divide batter between pans and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely.
6. For frosting, whip heavy cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
7. Slice each cake layer horizontally. Spread raspberry puree and some frosting between layers, then frost the outside.
8. Melt dark chocolate and mix with a little raspberry puree for the drip. Pour over the cake, letting it drip down the sides.
9. Decorate with whipped cream swirls, fresh raspberries, and a dusting of powdered sugar. Chill for 1 hour before serving.
