Hello World! Hope your weekend is going well. Today I want to share with you the White Chocolate Raspberry Torte that I made for Easter. Sorry I’m just getting around to posting this, but it has been super, crazy busy around here.
White Chocolate Raspberry Torte
Ingredients:
Cake:
3/4 cup butter
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
1 cup white baking chips, melted and cooled
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups cake flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup buttermilk
Filling:
2 cups fresh or frozen raspberries (I used frozen and it worked wonderfully)
3/4 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
3 Tablespoons cornstarch
Frosting:
1 package (8 ounce) cream cheese
1 cup vanilla or white chocolate chips, melted and cooled
12 ounces frozen whipped topping, thawed
Fresh Raspberries for garnishing
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour 2 9-inch round baking pans and set aside. Cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in melted chips and vanilla. Combine flour, baking powder and soda and add to creamed mixture alternately with buttermilk, beating well after each addition.
Pour the batter evenly into prepared baking pans. Bake for 28-32 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
In a small saucepan, bring raspberries and water to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Strain raspberry mixture into a bowl and discard the seeds. Cool. In the same pan, combine sugar and cornstarch. Stir in raspberry puree until smooth. Bring to a boil. Cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Cool. Spread between cake layers.
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until fluffy. Beat in melted chips and fold in whipped topping. Spread over the top and sides of cake. Reserve some frosting to pipe over the top edge of cake with a pastry bag (obviously that is optional, you can just spread all of the frosting over the cake top and sides if desired). Garnish with berries if desired. Store in refrigerator.

This is by far one of the best tortes I have ever had. I highly recommend it!! Now on to another little something. Isn’t the little plastic egg worm (as The Dedicated Daughter likes to call her and her name is Crystal) cute as can be? I will definitely be using up the boxes I have of plastic eggs to make some of these for her little friends to give away for Easter.
Anyhoo, have a happy weekend. Anything Blue Friday is rocking right along with some fantastic blue inspiration. Click here to go to the party. Also, there is still time to enter the French Bleu Vintage giveaway. Click here to head straight to the giveaway. Enjoy the rest of your day and remember to be kind to one another!
Fear Not!
Toodles,
