Easy Chocolate/Raspberry Cream Cake!

So you want EASY? 

 I'm all for easy and I think you may be too! My good friend Karen had a special Birthday this week and I invited a few gal pals for cake and coffee.  This was so easy to make and everyone thought I spend hours preparing it. NOT!  If you recall I had made a Banana Split cake a while back and it was so appreciated when I posted the blog so today I used the same concept and made another easy cake and impressive as well.  In my other cake I  used a box mix and made two layers..I used one for the Banana Split cake and I froze the other for later use..Today was the day for the other layer to make this scrumptious dessert.
Note:  You can make this cake in a square or rectangular pan and top with the below ingredients as well.  It will serve more people.

 
 Happy Baking from my kitchen
