Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°. Spray a 10-inch enamel-coated cast-iron skillet with cooking spray.

Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla.

With <g class=”gr_ gr_40 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Grammar only-ins doubleReplace replaceWithoutSep” id=”40″ data-gr-id=”40″>mixer</g> on low speed, gradually add flour mixture to butter mixture alternately with 1 cup buttermilk, beginning and ending with flour mixture, beating just until combined after each addition.
- Spoon 1 cup batter into a medium bowl. Add cocoa, melted butter, and remaining ¼ cup buttermilk, stirring until incorporated. Alternately spoon chocolate batter and vanilla batter over raspberries. Gently swirl batters together with the tip of a knife, being careful not to disturb raspberries.
- Bake until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes, covering with foil after 25 minutes of baking to prevent excess browning. Let cool in skillet for 10 minutes. Loosen edges of cake from skillet, and invert onto a serving platter.
