Scale
Cake Ingredients
- 1 box white cake mix
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup milk
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 cup raspberry jam
Ganache Ingredients
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Prepare the Cake Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the white cake mix, softened butter, milk, and eggs. Mix thoroughly until you achieve a smooth and well-incorporated batter.
- Add Raspberry Jam: Drop spoonfuls of raspberry jam onto the batter in each pan. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the jam into the batter, creating a beautiful marbled effect.
- Bake the Cake: Evenly divide the batter between the two prepared pans. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. After baking, let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Make the White Chocolate Ganache: In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm the heavy cream until just simmering. Remove from heat and stir in the white chocolate chips. Continue stirring until the mixture is completely smooth and glossy.
- Assemble the Cake: Once both cakes are fully cooled, spread the white chocolate ganache evenly over the surface of the cakes, frosting both layers as desired.
- Top with Raspberry Jam: Drizzle a little extra raspberry jam over the top of the frosted cake for a vibrant finish and additional flavor punch.
- Serve and Enjoy: Slice the cake into servings, plate, and indulge in this creamy, fruity dessert treat.
Notes
- Ensure the cakes are completely cool before frosting to prevent the ganache from melting.
- For a more intense raspberry flavor, use seedless raspberry jam.
- The ganache can be chilled slightly to thicken if needed before frosting.
- Store the cake in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Allow the cake to come to room temperature before serving for the best texture and flavor.
