Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box white cake mix (prepared using only egg whites)
- 1 cup (240 ml/8 fl oz) raspberry syrup
- 1 can (14 oz/400 g) sweetened condensed milk
- 11 oz (312 g) white chocolate chips
- ½ cup (85 g) white chocolate chips (for batter)
- ⅔ cup (113 g) white chocolate chips (for melting)
- Remaining white chocolate chips (for topping)
- 4 cups (907 g/32 oz) buttercream frosting
Instructions
- Cake Preparation: Grease a 9 x 13 inches baking dish following cake mix package guidelines, ensuring complete surface coverage.
- Batter Creation: Prepare cake mix according to package instructions, incorporating egg whites to enhance overall texture and lightness.
- Chocolate Integration: Fold white chocolate chips into the batter, distributing them uniformly to guarantee consistent flavor throughout the mixture.
- Baking Process: Bake the cake at recommended temperature until achieving a golden-brown exterior and perfect inner consistency.
- Hole Formation: Once slightly cooled, craft precise holes across the cake’s surface using a wooden spoon handle, creating channels for flavor infusion.
- Syrup Absorption: Generously drizzle raspberry syrup over the cake, guiding the liquid into each strategically punched hole to maximize taste penetration.
- Sauce Preparation: Melt white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl until achieving a smooth, creamy consistency, then blend with sweetened condensed milk.
- Sauce Application: Pour the white chocolate-condensed milk mixture evenly across the cake, ensuring complete surface and hole coverage.
- Cooling and Setting: Allow the cake to cool completely at room temperature, enabling flavors to harmonize and settle.
- Frosting Technique: Apply a smooth, thin buttercream layer across the entire cake surface, then briefly freeze for 5 minutes to set the frosting.
- Final Garnish: Sprinkle remaining white chocolate chips atop the cake, creating an elegant and visually appealing presentation.
Notes
- Precise Hole Technique: Create uniform, evenly spaced holes using wooden spoon handle to ensure consistent flavor distribution throughout the cake.
- Chocolate Melting Tip: Microwave white chocolate chips in short bursts, stirring between intervals to prevent burning and achieve a smooth, creamy consistency.
- Flavor Absorption Strategy: Pour raspberry syrup and white chocolate sauce while cake is still warm to maximize flavor penetration and moisture retention.
- Frosting Chill Method: Brief freezer setting helps buttercream frosting set quickly, creating a clean, professional-looking cake surface with minimal effort.
