Ingredients
Scale
Cake
- 1 box white cake mix
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup milk
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 cup raspberry jam
Ganache and Topping
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- Additional raspberry jam for drizzling
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans thoroughly to ensure the cakes release easily after baking.
- Prepare the Cake Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the white cake mix, softened butter, milk, and eggs. Mix these ingredients until the batter is smooth and all components are well incorporated, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Add Raspberry Jam: Pour the cake batter evenly into the prepared pans. Drop spoonfuls of raspberry jam onto the batter in each pan and use a knife to gently swirl the jam throughout the batter, creating a beautiful marbled effect.
- Bake the Cake: Place the pans in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the cakes; it should come out clean. After baking, allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Make the White Chocolate Ganache: In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat just until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and stir in the white chocolate chips until the mixture is smooth and glossy, forming a ganache.
- Assemble the Cake: Once the cakes are completely cooled, spread the white chocolate ganache evenly over the top of one cake layer. Place the second cake layer on top and frost the top with remaining ganache.
- Top with Raspberry Jam: Drizzle additional raspberry jam over the ganache-topped cake to enhance flavor and add an attractive finishing touch.
- Serve and Enjoy: Slice the cake into eight servings. Serve immediately and enjoy the creamy, fruity indulgence of this elegant dessert!
Notes
- For best results, ensure the cakes are fully cooled before applying the ganache to prevent it from melting.
- Quality raspberry jam with seeds adds texture and authentic fruit flavor.
- This cake can be prepared a day in advance and stored refrigerated; bring to room temperature before serving.
- Use white chocolate of good quality to achieve a smooth and rich ganache.
- If desired, garnish with fresh raspberries or mint leaves for extra decoration.
