Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box white cake mix
- 1.25 cups water
- 0.33 cups vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 6 oz white chocolate baking squares
- 1.5 cups whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 6 oz semisweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup fresh raspberries (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pans). Grease the bottoms of two 8-inch or 9-inch round cake pans and line them with parchment paper circles for easy removal.
In a large bowl, combine the white cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs. Beat on low speed for 30 seconds, then on medium speed for 2 minutes, scraping the bowl occasionally. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.
Bake the cakes for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove from pans and cool completely on a wire rack.
Meanwhile, prepare the white chocolate filling. In a small saucepan, melt the white chocolate baking squares with 1/2 cup of the whipping cream over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth. Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens slightly.
Using an electric mixer, beat the white chocolate mixture until soft peaks form. In another bowl, beat the remaining 1 cup of whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the white chocolate mixture until blended. Set aside.
Prepare the fudge glaze by melting butter and semisweet chocolate chips together in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth. Stir in the powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of hot water until the glaze is glossy and smooth. Cool slightly.
To assemble the torte, place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread half of the white chocolate filling evenly over the top. Place the second cake layer on top and spread the remaining filling over it. Use a spatula to smooth out the filling.
Drizzle the fudge glaze over the top of the cake, allowing some to drip down the sides. Garnish with fresh raspberries if desired.
Refrigerate the torte for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator.
