Chocolate Raspberry Torte With Mocha Cream Filling

Submitted by Mom2Rose

"This recipe needs two torte pans (I used Pampered Chef). If you do not have torte pans then follow the box directions to make two 8 or 9 inch layers and then make the cream filling as directed below. Also - This recipe was made using Betty Crocker Supermoist Devil's Food cake and the cake ingredients are listed below for that mix. If you are using a different brand, please follow the box instructions on the necessary ingredients to make the batter."

Split the layers if using 8 or 9 inch cake pans. Spread raspberry jam between those layers, then frost with mocha cream filling.
