Tips

Tip: If you don't have raspberry jam on hand, you can easily substitute it with strawberry or apricot jam. Additionally, if you prefer a lighter cake, you can replace some of the all-purpose flour with almond flour for a nutty flavor. Lastly, for a dairy-free version, try using coconut milk in place of regular milk in the ganache and buttercream.
