RASPBERRY DREAM CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F (176°C) and prepare three 8 inch cake pans with parchment paper in the bottom and baking spray on the sides. 2
• . Combine the milk, eggs, vegetable oil and vanilla extract in a large bowl, then separate about 3/4 cup of the mixture into another bowl or measuring cup. About 1 1/4 cups should remain in the other bowl. Set both aside.
• . In a large mixer bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
• . With the mixer on the lowest speed, add the butter about a tablespoon at a time, allowing it to incorporate before adding the next tablespoon. As you add more butter, the mixture will start to clump together a bit a should end up resembling wet sand.
• . Add the larger of the reserved egg mixture (about 1 1/4 cups) to the dry ingredients/butter mixture. Stir on the lowest speed until it's incorporated, then scrape down the sides of the bowl. 6.
• Increase the speed to medium high and beat until light and fluffy, about 45 seconds to a minute. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. 7.
• Turn the speed down to low and slowly add the remaining egg mixture in a slow stream until incorporated. 8.
• Scrape the sides of the bowl, then turn speed back up and mix until well combined, about 10-15 seconds. 9.
• Divide the batter evenly between the three cake pans and bake 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. 10
• Remove cakes from the oven and allow to cool for 2-3 minutes, then turn out onto a cooling rack to cool completely. The cakes will pull away from the sides of the pan a little as they cool. 11
• To make the raspberry filling, add the raspberries and water to a food processor and puree until smooth. If you'd like, you can strain the puree to remove the seeds. 12
• Combine the sugar and cornstarch in a medium saucepan. Stir in the raspberry puree. 13
• Cook over medium heat, stirring consistently until mixture thickens and comes to a boil, about 8-10 minutes. 14
• Allow to boil for 1 minute, then remove from heat. Refrigerate and allow to cool completely. 15
• When ready to build the cake, make the frosting. Add the cream cheese and butter to a large mixer bowl and beat until well combined and smooth. 16
• Add about half of the powdered sugar and mix until well combined and smooth. 17
• Add the vanilla extract and salt mix until well combined. 18
• Add the remaining powdered sugar and mix until well combined and smooth. 19
• To put the cake together, use a large serrated knife to remove the domes from the top of the cakes so that they're flat. Refer to my tutorial, if needed. 20.
• lace the first cake on a serving plate or a cardboard cake round. 21.
• ipe a dam of frosting around the outside of the cake. Refer to my tutorial, if needed. Spread about 1/2 of the filling evenly on top of the cake. 22.
• lace the second cake on top and add another dam of frosting and the remaining raspberry filling. 23.
• op the cake with the final cake layer and frost with the remaining frosting. Refer to my tutorial, if needed. 24.
• f desired, use a 9 inch offset spatula to create a design in the sides of the cake. Pipe shells around the top edge of the cake. I used Ateco tip 847. Finish off the cake with some fresh raspberries. 25.
• efrigerate cake until ready to serve. Cake is best when allowed to sit out for an hour or two before serving so that it comes a little closer to room temperature. Cake is best when stored well covered for 3-4 days.
