INGREDIENTS
1 box white cake mix (plus ingredients to make it, using only egg whites for a pure white cake)
1 cup raspberry syrup
1 can sweetened condensed milk
11 oz bag white chocolate chips (½ cup for the batter, 2/3 cup for melting, the rest for topping)
4 cups buttercream frosting
PREPARATION STEPS
Prepare the cake mix as directed on the package, substituting whole eggs with egg whites to keep the cake white
Before baking, evenly sprinkle ½ cup of white chocolate chips over the batter.
Bake in a 9×13 pan following the package’s instructions.
Once baked and slightly cooled but still warm, poke holes throughout the cake using the end of a spoon.
Drizzle the raspberry syrup over the cake, ensuring it fills the holes.
Melt 2/3 cup of white chocolate chips and combine with the sweetened condensed milk. Pour this blend over the cake, filling the holes.
Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting.
Apply the buttercream frosting over the cake
For a cleaner frosting layer, apply a thin coat of frosting and freeze for 5 minutes to set before adding the final layer
This method prevents the cake and raspberry mixture from blending into the frosting.
Garnish with the remaining white chocolate chips.
