Ari's White Chocolate Cake

Baking from scratch is a skill that I want to learn and will learn one day. However, that doesn't stop me from making desserts for my family. I just need a little help from Betty Crocker or Duncan Hines, my two favorite cake mixes. Once I whip up my cake batter from my pre mix cake mix, then I add my secret ingredients that keeps my cakes moist and tasting good. My white chocolate cake is not only easy to make but its fun too; it makes me feel like I'm a baker, even if I am relying on pre mix cake mixes. The raspberries on top of my white chocolate cake is really for garnishing, but eating them with your slice of cake does enhance your every bite. The real surprise is the white chocolate that I put between the cake layers; the texture between the layers tastes like a white chocolate candy bar that just melts in your mouth. So while I may not be a master baker just yet, my kitchen adventures is still filled with joy, creativity, and of course deliciousness.

Ingredients:

• Betty Crocker White cake mix

• Betty Crocker cream cheese frosting

• 1 cup of White baking chips (I like to use Nestle Toll House)

• Cooking oil

• Eggs

• Water

• 1/4 tsp of cinnamon

• 1/2 tsp of honey

• 1/2 tsp of mayo

• Raspberries (optional)

Directions:

• Follow the directions from the box of the cake mix to make the cake batter

• Once the batter is made, add your cinnamon, honey, and mayo to the batter and mix well

• Next, pour your cake batter into 2 - 8x8 cake pans (round or square) evenly

• Then follow the baking instructions from the cake mix box

• Once your cake is done baking, let them cool completely

• Now that your cake is cool, its time to start frosting it

• Melt your white baking chips in a microwavable bowl

• Spread the white chocolate on top of the first layer of cake until it is covered (don't make the layer thin but not to thick either)

Note: If the white chocolate seems to be hard to spread across the cake, add some frosting to it

• Once that layer is covered with white chocolate and frosting, add the second cake layer on top of the first layer

• Next spread a mixture of white chocolate and frosting until your cake is completely covered to your liking

• Then sit your cake in the refrigerator for about 15 - 20 minutes

• Lastly take your cake out the refrigerator and add your raspberries (optional)

• Place your raspberries around the border of your cake for garnishing (optional)

Enjoy!!
