Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • baking pan

Ingredients

Vanilla Cake

  • 1 - 15.25 oz box vanilla cake mix
  • 1 cup water
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 3 eggs

Raspberry Cake Glaze and topping

  • 2 Tablespoons Cornstarch
  • ½ cup Sugar
  • 6 ounce container Fresh Raspberries
  • 1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice
  • 1 8 oz container whipped topping

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  • Add the cake mix, water, oil, and eggs to a large bowl, and beat on high speed for 3 minutes. Pour batter into the cake pan, and bake for 28-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
  • Remove the cake from the oven, and let it cool completely.
  • To make the raspberry glaze, mix the cornstarch and sugar together in a small bowl with a whisk.
  • Add the raspberries and lemon juice to a small saucepan, and add the cornstarch and sugar mixture, then stir well.
  • Cook over medium heat for 15 minutes, stirring often, while chopping the berries with the spatula.
  • Once the mixture is done, refrigerate for 2 hours.
  • Once the cake and glaze has cooled, spread the mixture over the entire surface of the cake, then top with whipped topping.
  • Keep the assembled cake refrigerated until ready to serve.
  • Slice, serve and enjoy!

Notes

Be sure to refrigerate the cake before serving so the topping sets.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
