Heat oven to 350\u00b0F. Grease three 9-inch cake pans. With electric mixer on low speed, beat cake mix, water, applesauce and eggs 30 for seconds. Increase the speed to medium speed. Beat for 2 mins. Divide batter among pans. Bake for 15 to 18 mins or until inserted toothpick comes out clean. Let cool for 5 mins. Unmold and cool completely.
In a mixing bowl, whip mousse mix and milk for 5 mins or until thick. Place the first cake layer on a serving plate. Spread with half the mousse. Repeat with the second layer. Cover with third layer.
Coat the cake top and sides with frosting. Cover the sides with chocolate shavings. Fill a piping bag fitted with open star tip, like Wilton 1M. Fill with whipped cream. Pipe rosettes around the edge of the cake. Fill the center with raspberries. Drizzle with chocolate.
