Or is too much batter? Is there a way to modify?

Bella – It should have said 16 tablespoons, not ounces. I’m glad you noticed that! So it should be 230g of butter. Let me know how it turns out for you – Sarah

Hi Sarah,
the cake looks lovely and I would like to try it myself. However, I’m quite unfamiliar with the ‘ounces’ and ‘sticks’ system. When I googled 16 ounces it converted it to 450g, but when I googled 2 sticks of butter it said 230g. Which one is the correct amount?
Thanks so much!

So sorry about that! I’m not quite sure what happened, but it looks like part of the instructions got deleted. I fixed them now! Let me know if you have any other questions. -Sarah

I’m confused by the frosting directions:

In a food processor or blender, puree berries until very smooth. Put the puree through a fine mesh strainer to remove the butter until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.

When do you add the butter? What does remove the butter mean? Thanks!

Hi Kate,
Yes, it is the same recipe as ‘the chocolate cake’ – I’ll fix that. And, I didn’t notice the coffee flavor to come out any more in this cake, even with the raspberry. My kids gobbled it up with no problem. 🙂

Can I assume correctly that it is the same recipe as “the chocolate cake”? If so, does the coffee in that recipe come out more with the raspberry flavor? I want to make this as a birthday cake for my daughter who wants a pink chocolate cake! Thoughts…
