I'm making a Black Raspberry Ale, it's around 2.3% alc. I'm wondering, after racking, can I add some more sugar to boost the Alc content?

You should be able to add additional (assuming you are using raw) fruit to re-activate the yeast and raise the ABV from the fruit sugar being eaten. From some minor experience and looking around it seems like adding brown sugar or honey can also raise the ABV but any additional sugars can make your brew dry.
