Not a Frosting Fan

G is not a frosting fan.  He doesn't like it on cakes, cupcakes, and well anything else.  So for his birthday I wanted to make something other than the typical marble cake in a rectangle pan with no frosting.  Further, I am terrible at marble cakes.  It usually looks like a yellow cake where someone mistakenly added some chocolate to it.  And, I have a pretty footed cake plate that I wanted to use.

The solution was one round chocolate cake and one round yellow cake.  Use your favorite recipe or box.  I used the extra batter for cupcakes.  I baked each according to the package directions.  I am guessing I overfilled the pans a bit.  Let cool completely and then cut each in half so you have two round chocolate layers and two round yellow layers.

Now the glue.  I made some whipped cream with heavy whipping cream (now G is not opposed to whipped cream!) and confectioners sugar.  Can probably use your favorite store bought whipped topping.  Then I folded in a whole jar of red raspberry jam.  Smeared on between layers and on the top.  Didn't do the sides.

It was a hit!!!

Picture isn't the best, but you get the idea.
