Review:
I normally hate cake--truly. But this was divine--honestly.

What I would change:

) Melt the chocolate chips first until no chunks remain. Then add the cream. See, the chips wouldn't completely melt until I used an electric mixer. Plus heating the cream for 1 minute made it smell slightly scalded, though this didn't affect taste.

2) I LOVE the frosting--not icky like buttercream. Next time I may make 50% more frosting to use as a thin layer of filling along with the raspberry jam.

Also, I couldn't find swiss chocolate cake; so I used Dunkan Hines Dark chocolate fudge.

Perfecto!
