Blue Ribbon Recipe
This chocolate raspberry mascarpone cake is as delicious as it is pretty. Moist and decadent, no one will guess it's not a from-scratch cake. The Bundt cake is sliced and filled with a creamy, salty, and silky semi-homemade cream filling. Raspberries and chocolate pair nicely together. Raspberry extract is added to the chocolate frosting and fresh raspberries are used to decorate the cake to give this simple dessert a nice punch of raspberry flavor.

How To Make chocolate raspberry mascarpone cake
-
Step 1Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a Bundt cake pan. Make the cake mix according to the directions on the box.
-
Step 2Pour into the prepared Bundt pan.
-
Step 3Bake for 30 - 35 minutes following package directions.
-
Step 4Let the cake cool slightly. Turn out of the Bundt pan to cool completely.
-
Step 5For the cream filling, whip heavy cream in a large mixing bowl until peaks form.
-
Step 6Add mascarpone cheese and white frosting. Mix well but do not overbeat.
-
Step 7Add red food coloring until you reach your desired color.
-
Step 8Mix.
-
Step 9When cool, slice the cake horizontally, making 3 pieces. This will give you 2 layers. The cake does not have to be cut, but this would only give you 1 layer of cream in the center.
-
Step 10Start layering the cake by placing the first piece of cake onto your serving platter and add half the cream filling. I protect the bottom edges with torn pieces of wax paper that later will be removed. This will keep your plate clean while frosting.
-
Step 11Top with a second piece of cake.
-
Step 12Add the remaining cream filling.
-
Step 13Top with the last slice of cake.
-
Step 14Add raspberry flavor to the chocolate frosting and mix well. Frost the cake.
-
Step 15Microwave any leftover frosting to drizzle over the top of the cake. Add 1 - 2 tsp of milk to loosen, if needed.
-
Step 16Drizzle over the cake. Chill to set the frosting.
-
Step 17Before serving, remove the waxed paper. Add raspberries to the center of the cake and around the edge. Garnish with mint leaves.
