Raspberry pie filling and homemade chocolate frosting jazz up a packaged cake mix in this picture-perfect torte created by our Test Kitchen. With a hint of rum flavor, it’s rich and creamy for special occasions, but so simple to do, you could prepare it on weeknights, too.

Raspberry Butter Torte Recipe

Prep: 30 min. Bake: 30 min. + cooling

Yield: 12-14 Servings

30 30 60

Ingredients

1 package butter recipe golden cake mix (regular size)
1/4 cup chopped almonds, toasted
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup baking cocoa
1-1/2 teaspoons rum extract
2 cups raspberry cake and pastry filling
Chocolate curls
Sliced almonds, toasted, optional

Directions

Prepare cake batter according to package directions; fold in chopped almonds. Pour into two greased and floured 9-in. round baking pans. Bake as directed. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
For frosting, in a small bowl, beat cream until it begins to thicken. Add the confectioners' sugar, cocoa and extract; beat until stiff peaks form.
Cut each cake into two horizontal layers. Place one layer on a serving plate; spread with 1/2 cup raspberry filling and 1/2 cup frosting. Repeat with remaining cake layers.
Place remaining frosting in a pastry bag with a star tip #195. Decorate top and sides of cake as desired. Garnish with chocolate curls. Sprinkle with sliced almonds if desired. Store in the refrigerator. Yield: 12-14 servings.

Editor's Note: For the cake pictured, pipe about 1/2 cup frosting around the cake between layers and 1-1/2 cups on top.

This is excellent. I made it for dessert for Mother's Day and everyone loved it.

I first made this a couple of years ago for my manager's birthday. It was a HIT! I couldn't believe something that was so easy to put together tasted so decadent and looked so professional! This has become a staple cake for me, for special occasions and other events.
