Description
A light and airy sheet cake featuring a raspberry-infused sponge topped with a cloud-like whipped cream and berry mixture. This vibrant dessert balances tart fruit flavors with a moist, delicate crumb that is perfect for summer gatherings.
Ingredients
- 1 box (15.25 oz) white cake mix
- 1 package (3 oz) raspberry gelatin
- 1 bag (12 oz) whole frozen raspberries, thawed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup hot water
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream, chilled
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- Toss the thawed raspberries with granulated sugar in a small bowl and let them sit until the juices are released.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the white cake mix, dry raspberry gelatin, eggs, oil, hot water, and half of the sweetened raspberries with all their juice.
- Beat the mixture until smooth, then pour into the prepared pan and bake for 25 to 30 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and allow the cake to cool completely on a wire rack.
- In a chilled metal bowl, whisk the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the remaining raspberries into the whipped cream to create a marbled effect.
- Spread the raspberry fluff over the cooled cake and refrigerate for at least two hours before serving.
Notes
To ensure the whipped cream stays stable and airy, always use a chilled metal bowl and whisk when preparing the topping. For a cleaner slice, use a sharp knife dipped in hot water and wiped dry between each cut.
