Ingredients
  

For the Cake

  • 1 box white cake mix (plus ingredients to prepare as per package instructions)
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries (or thawed frozen raspberries) Use fresh for best flavor.

For the Topping

  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
  • 8 oz white chocolate, chopped Ensure it's melted completely for a smooth texture.
  • 1 cup heavy cream For a creamy white chocolate mixture.
  • 1 cup whipped cream
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • Fresh raspberries for garnish

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Prepare the white cake mix according to package instructions and pour the batter into the prepared dish.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool for 10 minutes in the pan.

Poking and Soaking

  • Use the handle of a wooden spoon to poke holes evenly all over the cake (about 20-25 holes).
  • In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat, add chopped white chocolate, stirring until smooth and melted.
  • Pour the white chocolate mixture over the poked cake, ensuring it fills the holes. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes to soak in.

Topping

  • In a bowl, beat the whipped cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
  • Spread this mixture over the cake.
  • Garnish with fresh raspberries.

Chilling

  • Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.

Notes

Store any leftover cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about 3-4 days. Ensure the cake is covered to prevent it from drying out. Use fresh raspberries for best flavor and don't skip the chilling step to allow flavors to meld.
