Raspberry Chocolate Cake

Have you ever seen the movie Matilda?  Do you remember when the fat boy get's caught eating the Trunchbull's 'special cake', and then the class is called to an assembly where he is forced to sit on stage and eat 'the entire concoction' - a massive chocolate cake!  Well, this chocolate cake will remind you of the Trunchbull's cake, especially as you and your girlfriends are scrapping the last crumbs off the plate and holding it up in victory.  Only, the best part is, this version is from Weight Watchers and it's amazingly healthy!!! 

1 Tbsp all-purpose flour
2 cups unprepared devil's food cake, mix
1/2 cup water
1 large egg
1/3 cup jam, seedless raspberry
4 oz unsweetened baking chocolate squares
6 Tbsp jam, seedless raspberry
6 Tbsp fat-free creamer, such as fat-free half-and-half
1/2 cups raspberries

1. Preheat the over to 350*
2. Mix together flour, cake mix, water, egg, and 1/3 cup of jam with an electric mixer.  Pour into pan coated with Cooking spray and bake until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, about 30 minutes.  Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes.  Invert onto a plate and remove from pan; place right side up on wire rack and allow to cool completly.
3. Melt chocolate in a double boiler over simmering water; allow to cool, then stir in remaining jam and half-and-half.  Frost cake with chocolate mixture and outline perimeter of cake with raspberries.  (Note: if chocolate mixture stiffens while frosting cake, microwave for 30 seconds to soften.)
