Raspberry-Cream Cake
- 18 1/2 ounces yellow cake mix
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 cup port wine
- 9 tablespoons raspberry jam
- chocolate curls below
- red food color
- 1. Prepare cake mix as label directs for two 9-inch layers; cool completely. With serrated knife, cut each cake horizontally in half to form two layers. Line a 2 1/2-quart bowl with plastic wrap; set aside.
- 2. In small bowl with mixer at medium speed, beat 1 cup heavy cream, 1 tablespoon sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon almond extract until stiff peaks form.
- 3. Gently press one cake layer into bowl; sprinkle with 2 tablespoons port; spread with 3 tablespoons jam, then with about 1/3 whipped cream mixture. Repeat layering with cake, port, jam, and cream two more times; then top with fourth cake layer and remaining 2 tablespoons port, pressing each layer gently but firmly. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours.
- 4. To serve, prepare Chocolate Curls. In small bowl with mixer at medium speed, beat remaining heavy cream, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1/2 teaspoon almond extract, and enough red food color to tint a delicate pink, until stiff peaks form.
- 5. Unmold dessert onto plate; discard plastic wrap; frost with whipped cream mixture. Garnish with Chocolate Curls. Makes 12 servings, 395 calories per serving.
- Remove paper from 1 square semi-sweet chocolate. Hold chocolate between palms of hands; let heat of hands soften chocolate slightly, about 5 minutes. With vegetable peeler, draw blade along smooth surface to make curls.
