Preparation
- In a large mixing bowl, combine dry ingredients for the base batter (flour, sugar, baking powder, salt).
- In a second mixing bowl, combine the eggs and vegetable oil.
- Add the wet mix to the dry mix, stirring constantly until smooth.
- Preheat oven to 350˚F (180˚C).

- Add the raspberry jam to other. Mix thoroughly.
- In a greased 9-inch (23 cm) cake pan, alternate batters by placing ¼ cup (60 ml) of batter in the center and letting it spread out slightly before adding the other batter (similar to making pancakes). Continue this process until the batter is used up and the pan is full of alternating rings.
- Bake cake in a preheated oven for 25-35 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- While the cake is baking, to make the ganache; in a medium pot set over low heat, mix together heavy cream and chocolate until chocolate has melted and mixture is smooth.
- Let mix rest until consistency is thick and mix is cooled.
