Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar (packed)

  • ½ cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries (or frozen, unthawed)
  • 1 cup chocolate ganache (made from heavy cream and dark chocolate)

Instructions
