- 1/2 cup brewed coffee
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar

- 4 Tbsp butter, softened
- 2 oz cream cheese, softened

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a 9-inch cake pan with parchment paper and lightly grease with cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and kosher salt.

- Pour wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisk until just incorporated, and gently fold in dark chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely.
- To make the frosting, beat together softened butter and cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, mixing until free of lumps, then stir in raspberry jam.
- Optionally, tint half of the frosting with red food coloring.
- Invert the cooled cake onto a cutting board and cut out three circles using a 3.5-inch round cookie cutter.
