    A few months back, I posted my Death by Chocolate Dump Cake and boy was it a hit!

    Since my second favorite dessert combo is chocolate raspberry (my first is definitely chocolate peanut butter), I decided to change up the recipe and add a simple raspberry twist.

    The end result?? FABULOUS!! Definite hit! The cake was still as moist and chocolate filled as before, but this time, there was a raspberry layer in the middle that really enhanced the flavor.

        I haven’t tried personally. I don’t know if you would want to as it wouldn’t rise enough to really fill the pan. It could work, but you would want to adjust baking time (decerase by about 10 minutes and watch from there). When baked, you would most likely scoop it out to make it easier, it just wouldn’t be as pretty!

      I followed directions exactly and it looked delicious! I was able to find raspberry pie filling at Raley’s. I made a carmel apple dump cake for Thanksgiving and it was a big hit. Looking forward to seeing how this one turns out!

        The recipe did not indicate the size can for the raspberry filling. I used a 21 oz can. The cake stayed mushy and never became actual cake. I tried baking it for an extra 20 minutes and it remained mushy. it would help to add the size of can of raspberries to your recipe. Than you

          Oh no! I am sorry about that! I have updated the recipe to include that, it should be a 12 ounce can. I use Solo brand, but any brand works!

      I just made this as directed. The batter was thick like brownie and there wasn’t enough to completely cover the top. I’m taking it to a friend’s house for dinner tonight so I certainly hope it tastes better than it looks😕

        How did it taste?? Hopefully it was still good?? The batter is thick, similar to brownie I would agree, but should cover the pan? Fingers crossed you all enjoyed it!

      Great recipe! I also couldn’t find raspberry pie filling so I substituted with Knotts Berry Farm seedless raspberry jam and sprinkled dark chocolate chips over the jam before the 2nd layer of batter….really good!

      I have this in the oven right now but I’m not optimistic. I followed the directions to the letter, but one-half of the batter wasn’t enough to cover a 13 x 9 pan. I ended up putting all the batter in, and then spreading the pie filling on top.

        That should still work great! How did it turn out? The batter isn’t very thick for this cake, but it should spread to a thin layer over the cake. You can see in some of my pics how the layer is thin 🙂
        Hope it was a success!!

      I couldn’t find any raspberry pie filling so I found a berry with strawberries, blackberries and blueberries I am going to try this in my chocolate dump cake instead of raspberry ” wish me luck” I hope it turns out good.
