Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Cake:

  • 1 box white or vanilla cake mix (plus ingredients listed on the box)
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips

For the Filling:

  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips, melted

For the Topping:

 

  • 1 jar (12 oz) raspberry preserves (seedless, if preferred)
  • 1 tub (8 oz) whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed
  • Fresh raspberries and white chocolate shavings for garnish

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.
