bakers-raspberry filling for a chocolate cake

KKM

I am making a chocolate layer cake for my dads birthday and I want to add some raspeberry filling as well.  Anyone have a good recipie?

Creamy or fruity?

My fave easy one is to make sweetened whipped cream and fold in crushed sweetened berries (or melted jam in a pinch) . Even easier, but depends on finding good fruit, just top the layers with the whipped cream, then press fresh berries into it and top with the next layer of cake. Good with strawberries, too.

I am thinking more fruity.  I am going to use some of the icing between the layers and I thought I would add a little raspberry filling on top of that.

Sorry...I've been gone all day.

For a simple fruity filling, I would just toss a pint of berries with a 1/2 c. or so of melted raspberry jam.
