3 cups sugar (I NEVER use 3 cups of sugar in a cake. I only used 1 3/4 cup in mine and we thought it was plenty sweet!)
3/4 lb. melted butter
4 eggs
1 Tab. vanilla extract
1 Tab. almond extract (I only added a TAD for my fam. doesn't care for a lot.)
2 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 cup raspberry jam
1 cup mini choc. chips
3/4 cup sliced almonds
Preheat your oven to 300.
Mix sugar and butter in a mixing bowl on low. Beat in eggs one at a time. Add the extracts. Add dry ingredients and mix until smooth. Pour into greased and papered 9" cake pan. Carefully smooth out a thin layer of raspberry jam. Top with choc. chips and half of sliced almonds. Carefully cover with remaining batter. Sprinkle top of cake with the remaining sliced almonds. Bake for 1 hour and 45 min. to 2 hours. (Mine only took an hour...so I would check it after an hour...then keep setting your timer.)
