Instructions
-
Prepare the Cake:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Prepare the cake mix according to package instructions. Stir in 1 cup of white chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake as directed on the box, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool slightly.
-
Poke the Cake:
- Use the handle of a wooden spoon or a skewer to poke holes all over the surface of the warm cake.
-
Make the Filling:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Mix the melted chocolate with the sweetened condensed milk until fully combined.
-
Add the Filling:
- Pour the white chocolate mixture evenly over the cake, ensuring it seeps into the holes. Let the cake cool completely.
-
Add the Raspberry Topping:
- Spread the raspberry preserves evenly over the top of the cooled cake.
-
Add Whipped Topping:
- Spread the thawed whipped topping over the raspberry layer, smoothing it out with a spatula.
-
Garnish and Serve:
- Garnish with fresh raspberries and white chocolate shavings. Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Notes
- For a homemade touch, you can use fresh raspberry sauce instead of preserves. Simply cook fresh or frozen raspberries with sugar and strain out the seeds.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
