Equipment

  • 1 9x13 inch baking pan
  • 1 mixing bowl
  • 1 electric mixer
  • 1 whisk
  • 1 toothpick or skewer
  • 1 saucepan
  • 1 piping bag or resealable plastic bag
  • 1 refrigerator

Ingredients
  

  • 1 box white cake mix 15.25 oz
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup water
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup raspberry preserves
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 8 oz white chocolate, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • as desired Fresh raspberries for garnish Optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease the 9x13 inch baking pan.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the white cake mix, eggs, water, and vegetable oil. Mix well with an electric mixer on medium speed for about 2 minutes until smooth.
  • Pour the cake batter into the prepared baking pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. With a toothpick or skewer, poke holes all over the top of the cake, about 1 inch apart.
  • In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the raspberry preserves and ¼ cup of water. Stir until melted and smooth. Pour the warm raspberry mixture over the cake, allowing it to soak into the holes.
  • In a separate bowl, heat the heavy cream in the microwave until warm (about 30 seconds). Add the chopped white chocolate and let it sit for a minute. Stir until completely melted and smooth. Mix in the vanilla extract.
  • Spread the white chocolate ganache over the top of the cake, covering it evenly. Allow the cake to cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set.
  • Before serving, garnish with fresh raspberries if desired. Slice and enjoy!

Notes

This cake can be made a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
Feel free to adjust the amount of raspberry preserves for a stronger or milder raspberry flavor.
You can substitute the heavy cream with whipped topping if you prefer a lighter texture.
