Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups granulated sugar
• 0.75 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 cup warm water
• 0.5 cups vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 1 cup raspberry preserves
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.5 cups brown sugar
• 0.25 cups unsalted butter (cold)
• 0.5 cups all-purpose flour (for streusel)
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (for streusel)
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

Add the eggs, buttermilk, warm water, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until the batter is smooth and well-combined.

Step 4

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Once baked, let the cake cool completely in the pan before transferring it to a serving plate.

Step 6

While the cake is cooling, prepare the chocolate streusel topping. In a medium bowl, combine the brown sugar, all-purpose flour (for streusel), cocoa powder (for streusel), and cold unsalted butter. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the chocolate chips.

Step 7

Spread the raspberry preserves evenly over the top of the cooled cake.

Step 8

Sprinkle the chocolate streusel mixture generously over the raspberry layer.

Step 9

Optional: Lightly dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar for a decorative touch.

Step 10

Slice and serve the Raspberry Rhapsody Chocolate Streusel Cake. Enjoy!
