Spicy Chocolate Raspberry Upside-Down Cake with Raspberry Chantilly Cream image

I'm proud to have created a unique cake that is light and fluffy yet full of spicy deep chocolate. Everyone is blown away to learn that diced tomatoes and chilies are hiding in the cake yet providing moisture and a spice boost.I was inspired to make this cake after making an apple spice cake for Ro*Tel. It turned out so delightful that I knew I could tweak the recipe and make a super chocolate cake. The tomatoes really add a great texture. I thought the raspberries would give a great color and flavor contrast. Not to stop there because the creamy raspberry chantilly cream just takes this dessert over the top!
