3 eggs
1 cup oil
1 1/2 cups hot water
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
GANACHE:
1 (12-ounce) package milk chocolate chips
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup raspberry jam or jelly
GLAZE:
6 ounces semisweet chocolate chips, melted
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
fresh raspberries for garnish
shaved chocolate for garnish

Grease and flour a 12”, deep Dutch oven, set aside. In a large bowl, mix dry ingredients, set aside. In a medium bowl, mix wet ingredients. Stir well then pour into the dry mixture, and mix well. It will be runny. Pour into prepared Dutch oven. Bake 30 minutes, or until cake pulls away from the sides of the oven, or is done to the touch. Use 8 coals under the bottom and 16 on the lid. Cool 10 minutes in open oven, then remove from oven and cool completely. Use dental floss to cut into 2 horizontal layers. Carefully remove the top layer and set aside. Spread ganache over the bottom layer and let ooze over the sides. Add top layer of cake and spread glaze over top and sides. Garnish with berries and shaved chocolate
