For a delicious variation on chocolate cake, use the Better Way cake recipe in a 4½ by 8½–inch bread loaf pan. Cook for 35 minutes. Cool, then cut the cake in 2 or 3 layers. An easy way to do this is to encircle the cake with a two-foot piece of string or thread, making sure that it is even all around, then pull the ends of the string together until the string has “cut” through the cake. Then spread with 2 to 3 tablespoons raspberry jam and frost with Chocolate Cream Frosting.
