Raspberry pie filling and homemade chocolate frosting jazz up a packaged cake mix in this picture-perfect torte created by our Test Kitchen. With a hint of rum flavor, itâs rich and creamy for special occasions, but so simple to do, you could prepare it on weeknights, too. Ingredients:
1 package butter recipe golden cake mix (regular size) |
1/4 cup chopped almonds, toasted |
2 cups heavy whipping cream |
1 cup confectioners' sugar |
1/4 cup baking cocoa |
1-1/2 teaspoons rum extract |
2 cups raspberry cake and pastry filling |
chocolate curls |
sliced almonds, toasted, optional |
Directions:
1. Prepare cake batter according to package directions; fold in chopped almonds. Pour into two greased and floured 9-in. round baking pans. Bake as directed. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
2. For frosting, in a small bowl, beat cream until it begins to thicken. Add the confectioners' sugar, cocoa and extract; beat until stiff peaks form.
3. Cut each cake into two horizontal layers. Place one layer on a serving plate; spread with 1/2 cup raspberry filling and 1/2 cup frosting. Repeat with remaining cake layers.
4. Place remaining frosting in a pastry bag with a star tip #195. Decorate top and sides of cake as desired. Garnish with chocolate curls. Sprinkle with sliced almonds if desired. Store in the refrigerator. Yield: 12-14 servings.
