Description

This White Chocolate Raspberry Poke Cake is a decadent dessert combining the rich sweetness of white chocolate with the tangy burst of raspberry. Topped with creamy buttercream and chunks of white chocolate, it’s a treat for the eyes and the taste buds!


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.
