Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tub (8 oz / 227 g) whipped topping, thawed
- 1 jar (12 oz / 340 g) raspberry preserves (seedless, if preferred)
- 1 can (14 oz / 396 g) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 box white or vanilla cake mix
- 1 cup (170 g) white chocolate chips
- ½ cup (85 g) white chocolate chips, melted
- Fresh raspberries
- White chocolate shavings
Instructions
- Cake Preparation: Activate oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously coat a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray, ensuring complete surface coverage.
- Batter Creation: Combine white chocolate cake mix according to package instructions, tenderly incorporating white chocolate chips throughout the mixture for added texture and richness.
- Baking Process: Pour batter into prepared dish, distributing evenly, and bake until a toothpick inserted centrally emerges pristine and clean.
- Cake Perforation: While cake remains warm, puncture the entire surface using a wooden spoon handle or skewer, creating multiple channels for moisture absorption.
- White Chocolate Filling: Melt white chocolate chips in microwave-safe bowl through brief 20-second intervals, stirring between each to achieve a silky, uniform consistency.
- Filling Integration: Merge melted white chocolate with sweetened condensed milk, whisking until completely harmonized into a luxurious liquid.
- Moisture Infusion: Gently cascade white chocolate mixture over warm cake, ensuring complete penetration into perforations for maximum flavor saturation.
- Cooling Phase: Allow cake to reach room temperature, permitting filling to solidify and permeate the cake’s interior thoroughly.
- Fruity Layer: Spread raspberry preserves across the surface, creating a vibrant and tangy dimensional flavor profile.
- Topping Application: Carefully distribute whipped topping using a spatula, creating a smooth, elegant covering over the raspberry layer.
- Decorative Finish: Garnish with fresh raspberries and delicate white chocolate shavings, elevating the cake’s visual appeal and gustatory experience.
- Chill and Set: Refrigerate for minimum 2 hours, allowing flavors to harmonize and achieve optimal serving consistency.
Notes
- Perforate Thoroughly: Create numerous holes to ensure the white chocolate mixture penetrates deeply, maximizing moisture and flavor absorption throughout the cake.
- Chocolate Melting Technique: Use short microwave intervals and stir frequently to prevent chocolate burning, maintaining a smooth, glossy consistency without scorching.
- Chill for Optimal Texture: Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to meld and develop a rich, cohesive taste profile that enhances the overall dessert experience.
- Customize Dietary Needs: Substitute gluten-free cake mix, dairy-free white chocolate, and vegan whipped topping to accommodate various dietary restrictions without compromising the cake’s delightful essence.
