Ingredients
- 1 box of white cake mix (plus required ingredients, using only egg whites for a pristine white cake)
- 1 cup of raspberry syrup
- 1 can of sweetened condensed milk
- 11 oz bag of white chocolate chips (½ cup for the batter, 2/3 cup for melting, remainder for topping)
- 4 cups of buttercream frosting
Instructions
- Preheat your oven and prepare the cake mix as instructed on the package. To maintain the cake’s pristine white color, use only egg whites. Before baking, sprinkle ½ cup of white chocolate chips evenly over the batter.
- Bake the cake in a 9×13-inch pan according to the package instructions.
- Once the cake is baked and slightly cooled but still warm, use the end of a spoon to poke holes evenly throughout the cake.
- Drizzle the raspberry syrup over the cake, ensuring it seeps into the holes.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 2/3 cup of white chocolate chips and mix them with the sweetened condensed milk. Pour this luscious blend over the cake, filling the holes.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before applying the frosting.
- Spread the buttercream frosting evenly over the cake. For a flawless finish, apply a thin layer of frosting and freeze the cake for 5 minutes to set before adding the final layer. This step ensures that the cake and raspberry mixture do not blend into the frosting.
- Garnish the cake with the remaining white chocolate chips for an extra touch of indulgence.

- Storage Instructions:
