Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box of white cake mix (plus required ingredients listed on the box, using only egg whites for color)
- 1 cup raspberry syrup
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- 11 oz white chocolate chips
- ½ cup for the batter
- 2/3 cup for melting
- Remainder for topping
- 4 cups buttercream frosting
Instructions
-
Prepare the Cake:
- Preheat your oven according to the instructions on the box of white cake mix.
- Prepare the cake mix according to the instructions, but use only egg whites to maintain the cake’s white color.
- Pour the batter into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish and bake according to the package instructions, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely.
-
Make the Poke Cake:
- Once the cake has cooled, use the end of a wooden spoon or a skewer to poke holes all over the cake, making sure you don’t tear the cake apart.
-
Prepare the Raspberry and Milk Mixture:
- In a small bowl, combine the raspberry syrup and sweetened condensed milk. Stir until well combined.
- Pour this mixture evenly over the poked cake, allowing it to soak into the holes and create a moist, flavorful base.
-
Prepare the White Chocolate:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the 2/3 cup of white chocolate chips in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between until fully melted and smooth.
- Pour the melted white chocolate over the top of the cake, spreading it evenly.
-
Top with Frosting:
- Spread the buttercream frosting evenly over the cake.
- Sprinkle the remaining white chocolate chips over the top of the frosting for added texture and decoration.
-
Chill and Serve:
- Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the frosting to set.
- Slice and serve chilled for a refreshing, indulgent treat!
Notes
- For extra raspberry flavor, you can swirl some raspberry jam or fresh raspberries into the frosting before spreading it over the cake.
- If you prefer, you can substitute the white chocolate chips for white chocolate chunks for a more textured topping.
