Ingredients
Method
Bake the Cake:
- Prepare the white cake according to the package instructions. Bake in a 9x13-inch pan and let it cool completely.
2. Poke the Cake:
- Using a fork, poke holes evenly across the cooled cake. These holes will absorb the raspberry filling for a burst of flavor in every bite.
3. Add the Raspberry Filling:
- Warm the raspberry preserves slightly in the microwave for easier spreading. Spread the preserves evenly over the surface of the cake, ensuring they seep into the holes.
4. Whip the Cream:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Whip with a hand or stand mixer until stiff peaks form. The whipped cream should hold its shape when lifted.
5. Top the Cake:
- Spread the whipped cream evenly over the cake. Use a spatula to smooth the surface for a clean finish.
6. Garnish and Chill:
- Top with fresh raspberries and mint leaves for garnish, if desired. Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour before serving to let the flavors meld.
