Ingredients:
For the Cake:
1 box white cake mix (plus ingredients to prepare as per package instructions)
1 cup fresh raspberries (or thawed frozen raspberries)
½ cup white chocolate chips
For the White Chocolate Filling:
8 oz white chocolate, chopped
1 cup heavy cream
For the Topping:
1 cup whipped cream
¼ cup powdered sugar
Fresh raspberries for garnish
Instructions:
Prepare the cake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking dish. Prepare the white cake mix according to package instructions and pour the batter into the prepared baking dish.
⏱️ Prep Time: 5 minutes | Baking Time: 25 minutes
Bake the cake: Bake the cake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool for 10 minutes in the pan.
⏱️ Baking Time: 30 minutes | Cooling Time: 10 minutes
Poke the cake: Once the cake has cooled slightly, use the handle of a wooden spoon to poke holes evenly all over the cake (about 20-25 holes).
⏱️ Poking Time: 2 minutes
Make the white chocolate filling: In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and add the chopped white chocolate, stirring until smooth and fully melted.
⏱️ Mixing Time: 3 minutes
Pour the filling: Pour the white chocolate mixture over the poked cake, making sure it fills the holes. Use a spatula to spread it evenly. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes so the filling can soak into the cake.
⏱️ Pouring and Setting Time: 15 minutes
Whipped cream topping: In a bowl, beat the whipped cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Spread the whipped cream over the top of the cake.
⏱️ Topping Time: 3 minutes
