A cake mix makes this chocolate raspberry bundt cake recipe a snap to prepare, and the raspberry jam and optional liqueur make it extra special. A rich chocolate ganache is the perfect finishing touch, and it's surprisingly easy to make.

The chocolate ganache is the perfect topping for this rich chocolate cake, but feel free to drizzle some vanilla icing over the top and decorate with sprinkles or chopped nuts if you'd like. Serve the cake with fresh raspberries if they're in season.

If you don't have Chambord, a raspberry-flavored liqueur for this cake, you can use milk or juice.

1 (18-ounce box) chocolate cake mix, such as devil's food cake
1 cup (about 12 ounces) raspberry jam
1/2 cup Chambord liqueur , or milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
4 large eggs

For the Chocolate Ganache:

2/3 cup whipping cream
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
2 tablespoons chopped walnuts , optional garnish
1/2 cup raspberries

Heat oven to 350 F. Grease and flour a 12-cup Bundt cake pan.
Combine cake ingredients in a large mixing bowl and beat on low speed of electric mixer until blended. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl and then beat on high speed for 2 minutes. Spoon into the prepared pan and bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until the cake springs back when lightly touched with a finger.
Cool completely before frosting.

For the Chocolate Ganache

Put the whipping cream in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring the cream to a boil; remove from the heat and stir in the chocolate chips. Continue stirring until the chocolate has melted and the ganache is smooth.
Let the ganache stand for about 5 minutes to cool slightly and then drizzle over the cooled cake. Garnish if desired with chopped walnuts and fresh raspberries.
