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!
