RASPBERRY CAKE FILLING

Steps:

• In a small sauce pan, combined all of the ingredients and slowly bring to a boil over medium-high heat (keep stirring until thickened for best results).
• Let cool completely before spreading onto cake.

LEMON RASPBERRY BUTTERMILK CAKE RECIPE

Steps:

• Combine raspberries and sugar in a sauce pan and bring to a boil. Use an immersion blender to make the filling smooth (or leave chunky if you prefer). Combine your cornstarch and water to make a slurry. Pour it into the raspberry mixture and let it simmer until mixture is clear and thickened. Remove from heat, stir in lemon juice and zest and let cool before using. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to a week or freeze for 6 months.
• Place egg whites and powdered sugar in a mixing bowl with the whisk attachment. Whisk to combine. Add in butter in small chunks then vanilla extract and salt. Whip on high until light and fluffy and white. Optional: whip in 1/4 cup raspberry pureeOptional: switch to the paddle attachment and mix on low for 15-20 minutes until all air bubbles are gone.
• Heat oven to 335º F/168º C - 350º F/177º C. I tend to use lower setting to prevent my cakes from getting too dark on the outside before the inside is done baking. Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature or slightly warm (eggs, buttermilk, butter)
• Measure out buttermilk. Place 4 oz in separate measuring cup. Add oil to the 4oz of buttermilk and set aside. To the remaining milk, add your eggs (lightly whisked to break them up) extract, lemon juice and lemon zest.
• Measure out dry ingredients and place them into the stand mixer bowl.
• Attach the paddle to the mixer, and turn on the slowest speed (setting 1 on Kitchen Aid mixers). Slowly add chunks of your softened butter until it is all added. Let mix until batter resembles coarse sand.
• Add your milk/oil mixture all at once to the dry ingredients and mix on medium (speed 4 on kitchenaid) for 2 full minutes.
• Scrape the bowl. This is an important step. If you skip it, you will have hard lumps of flour and unmixed ingredients in your batter. If you do it later, they will not mix in fully.
• Slowly add in the rest of your liquid ingredients in 3 parts, stopping to scrape the bowl one more time halfway through. Your batter should be thick and not too runny.
• Lightly grease 2 8" cake pans cake goop or other pan release. Fill pans 3/4 full. Give the pan a little tap on each side to level out the batter and get rid of any air bubbles.
• Add 3-4 large dollops of your raspberry filling to the cake batter and use a spoon or knife to swirl it through the batter. I also add in about 1/4 cup of fresh raspberries dusted with flour sprinkled on top. Do not stir them in.
• I always start by baking for 30 minutes for 8" and smaller cakes and 35 minutes for 9" and larger cakes and then checking for doneness. If the cakes are still really jiggly, I add another 5 minutes. I check every 2 minutes after that until I'm close and then it's every 1 minute. Cakes are done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few crumbs.
• After cakes have cooled for 10 minutes or the pans are cool enough to touch, flip the cakes over and remove from the pans onto the cooling racks to cool completely. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator.
• Once the cakes are chilled in the refrigerator and feel firm you can trim off the brown edges from the sides (optional) and fill with your buttercream and more of your raspberry filling. It's best to create a dam (see video) to help hold in the raspberry filling and keep it from oozing out. Crumb coat the cake with buttercream, chill then apply your final coat of buttercream. Top with lemon slices, more raspberries and a drizzle of raspberry filling around the outside edge.

RASPBERRY FILLING

Steps:

• Combine raspberries, sugar, 3/4 cup water, and lemon juice in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until reduced, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat and strain through a fine-mesh strainer into a bowl. Pour mixture back into the saucepan.
• Mix remaining water and cornstarch together in a bowl until dissolved; add to raspberry mixture. Bring mixture to a boil; cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Cool filling in refrigerator, at least 30 minutes.

LEMON RASPBERRY-FILLED CAKE

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, egg white, water and applesauce; beat on low speed for 30 seconds. Beat on medium for 2 minutes. Pour into two 9-in. round baking pans coated with cooking spray. , Bake at 350° for 20-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on wire racks for 10 minutes; remove from pans to cool., For frosting, in a large bowl, beat first four frosting ingredients until smooth. Beat in enough milk to achieve desired consistency., Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread with spreadable fruit. Top with second layer; frost top of cake.

RASPBERRY-FILLED LAYER CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter two 8-by-2-inch professional round cake pans, and line the bottom with parchment rounds. Butter the parchment, and dust pans with flour, tapping out any excess; set aside.
• Sift together the cake flour, baking powder, and salt into a medium bowl, and set aside. Beat the butter in the bowl of an electric mixture fitted with the paddle attachment until it is creamy. Add the sugar to the butter in a steady stream, and continue beating until the butter is light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Reduce speed to low, and add dry ingredients alternately with the milk and vanilla in three additions, starting and finishing with the dry ingredients; be careful not to overmix. Set batter aside.
• In a medium metal bowl or clean bowl of an electric mixer, whisk egg whites just until stiff peaks form. Fold one-third of the egg whites into the batter until combined. Fold in remaining whites in two batches. Divide batter between prepared pans, and smooth tops with a metal spatula. Bake until a tester inserted near the center comes out clean and the cake springs back when pressed lightly in the center, about 30 minutes. Let pans cool 15 minutes on a wire rack before unmolding. Loosen the sides with a small metal spatula or paring knife, and invert onto greased wire racks. To prevent the layers from splitting, invert again so that the tops are up. Cool completely before assembling cake or wrapping airtight to freeze cake for later.
• If cakes are not level, use a serrated knife to trim tops off. Carefully slice each cake horizontally into two equal layers. (You will have four layers.) Place one-third of the frosting in a bowl, and fold in raspberry jam.
• To assemble, place one sliced layer on an 8-inch cardboard cake round. Spread the top with 1/4 inch of raspberry frosting. Repeat with remaining layers and remaining raspberry frosting, placing the final layer bottom side up. Lightly coat the assembled cake with a thin layer of white frosting to protect against crumbs in the frosting. Finish with remaining frosting. Serve immediately, or keep refrigerated until ready to serve.

CHOCOLATE RASPBERRY CAKE RECIPE (VIDEO)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350F/177C. Line three, 8-inch (20-cm) round cake pans with parchment paper and spray the sides with a baking spray.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the buttermilk, oil, eggs, vanilla and sugar. Mix on medium speed for about 3 minutes, until the eggs are well beaten. Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave or in a double boiler. Mix the melted chocolate into the batter for about 1 minute, until well combined.
• In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cocoa powder. Sift the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix on medium speed for about 1 minute, just until the ingredients are incorporated. Do not overmix!
• Divide the cake batter evenly between the three pans and press 1 ½ cups of fresh or previously frozen berries into the batter, spacing the berries evenly. If using frozen berries, make sure to thaw them first!
• Bake the cake layers in the preheated oven for 24 to 26 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Once the layers are baked, remove them from the pans onto a wire rack to cool completely.
• Meanwhile, prepare the Raspberry Buttercream. I have a separate video recipe for this frosting, linked in the post above and instructions below: https://tatyanaseverydayfood.com/raspberry-buttercream/
• For the filling, place 1 ½ cups raspberries into a bowl and use a large fork to crush the berries.
• Once the cake layers have cooled completely, use a sharp serrated knife to level off the top of each layer, if needed. Next, use a pastry brush to lightly soak each cake layer with the raspberry liqueur.
• To assemble the cake, first spread a thin layer of frosting onto the first cake layer. Transfer some of the buttercream into a pastry bag tipped with a simple round tip or a star tip; I used Ateco tip #847. Pipe a barrier ring around the edge of the cake, then fill the center with half of the crushed raspberries. Watch my video recipe to see how it's done.
• Add the next cake layer and repeat the same process. After adding the last cake layer on top, frost the top and sides of the cake with a light crumb coat of frosting. Refrigerate the cake for 15 to 20 minutes, then add the final coat of buttercream. Garnish the top of the cake with dollops of buttercream and fresh berries.
• The cake can be enjoyed immediately or stored for the next day in the refrigerator. When ready to enjoy the cake, remove it from the refrigerator an hour or 2 prior to allow the cake layers to soften.
• Prepare the raspberry sauce first. Place the raspberries and granulated sugar into a small saucepan and bring the berries to a simmer over medium heat. Simmer for 4 to 5 minutes, until the berries start to fall apart and form a jam. Pour the jam into a fine mesh strainer arranged over a mixing bowl. Use the back of a spoon or a spatula to press the sauce through the strainer, leaving the seeds behind. Discard the seeds and place the sauce into the refrigerator to chill.
• Next, prepare the buttercream. The butter needs to be just slightly softened, not melted. If the butter is too soft, return it to the refrigerate to chill. Place the softened butter into a mixer bowl and whisk on high speed for 7 to 10 minutes, until the butter is fluffy, creamy, and pale white in color. Make sure to scrap down the sides of the mixing bowl often to ensure all the butter is well-mixed.
• Add the confectioner's sugar next and start mixing on low speed first until the sugar is incorporated. Once all the lose sugar is incorporated, turn the mixer to high speed and whisk for 3 to 4 minutes, until the buttercream is light and fluffy. Scrap down the sides of the mixing bowl periodically to make sure everything is well mixed.
• If desired, add a few drops of red food coloring at this time. For a sourer buttercream, add the citric acid. For even more raspberry flavor, add raspberry extract. Add the chilled raspberry sauce last! Add the sauce and mix for about 15 to 20 seconds, 30 seconds maximum, with the mixer. Do not overmix or this will cause the buttercream to separate! Finish mixing in the sauce by hand using a spatula and use.
