Ingredients

Raspberry Bundt Cake

  • 1 box vanilla cake mix {13.25 ounces}
  • 1 box vanilla pudding mix {3.4 ounces}
  • 8 ounces cream cheese {softened}
  • ½ cup milk
  • ½ cup butter {melted}
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup raspberry jam
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries

White Chocolate Ganache

  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 2-3 Tablespoons heavy cream

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°.

Raspberry Bundt Cake

  • Combine softened cream cheese and butter, cream together with a hand held {or stand} mixer until mixture is smooth. Add vanilla cake mix, vanilla pudding mix, milk, melted butter, eggs and vanilla extract. Continue to mix until you have a thick cake batter.
  • Scoop half of the cake batter into a Bundt pan that has been sprayed liberally with nonstick cooking spray. In a small bowl combine the raspberry jam and fresh raspberries, mix to combine. Take the raspberry mixture and add to the top of the cake batter in the Bundt pan {trying to keep the mixture in the middle of the batter}. Top the raspberry mixture with the other half of the cake batter and spread out until smooth.
  • Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with only a few crumbs {no raw cake batter}. Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool on a cooling rack for 20-30 minutes.
  • Take a knife and run around the edge of the cake to release any areas where the jam may have baked to the side of the Bundt pan. Invert the cake onto a cake plate. Cool completely at room temperature.

White Chocolate Ganache

  • Once the cake has completely cooled, begin by adding the white chocolate chips and two tablespoons of heavy cream to a microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds and stir. At this point you can continue to microwave in 15 second increments until smooth. You can also add a bit more heavy cream to thin out the ganache but only add 1 teaspoon at a time. The key to great ganache is that it isn't too thin but still pourable.
  • Once you have the right consistency, pour the ganache over the top of the cake and allow the ganache to set up {refrigerating the cake will speed up the process}. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and garnish with more fresh raspberries if desired. Serve and enjoy.
  • Leftovers should be kept in the refrigerator covered tightly for up to 4 days. The cake can also be frozen for up to 3 months.

Notes

  • For best results, try to keep the filling in the middle of the cake batter.  When the filling gets to the outside of the cake it can stick to the sides of the Bundt pan and make it harder to get it out of the pan.
  • Be sure you don't over bake the Bundt cake.  Baking time can vary a bit, so pull the cake out of the oven to cool as soon as a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with only a few crumbs {not any raw cake batter}.
  • Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 20-30 minutes before loosening it from the pan and inverting it.  If you try to invert the cake too soon it will be more prone to sticking to the pan.
