Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, and mix well. Stir in vanilla extract.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with buttermilk, until just combined.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Mousse and Ganache
- Puree raspberries with sugar, then strain the mixture for a smooth puree. Whip cream until soft peaks form.
- Fold in melted dark chocolate and raspberry puree. Chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Slice the cooled cake horizontally and layer with raspberry mousse. Chill for 1 hour.
- Heat heavy cream until it boils, then pour over chopped chocolate for ganache. Stir until smooth.
- Drizzle ganache over the chilled cake before serving.

Notes
Ensure the butter is softened but not melted for fluffy texture. Chill mousse for best layers.
