Dark Chocolate And Raspberry Layer Cake

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Line a 15 1/2- x 10 1/2-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper. Coat parchment paper with cooking spray, dust with cocoa.

Combine cake mix, water, baby food, and eggs in a large bowl, beat with a mixer at medium speed 2 minutes. Spread cake batter into prepared pan. Bake at 350 degrees F for 23 minutes or until cake springs back when touched lightly in center.

Cool cake in pan 10 minutes. Loosen cake from sides of pan, and invert onto a wire rack. Remove parchment paper. Cool completely. Cut cake crosswise into 3 equal pieces to create 3 rectangular cake layers.

Combine preserves and liqueur in a small bowl, stir until smooth.

Place 1 cake layer on a cake platter, spread with half of raspberry mixture, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Repeat procedure with second cake layer and raspberry mixture. Top with third cake layer. Cover and chill 8 hours.

Sift powdered sugar evenly over cake before serving. To slice the finished cake into triangles, slice cake lengthwise down the center. Cut widthwise into 4 equal squares and cut each square diagonally. Garnish with raspberries, if desired.
