“Nothing
Bundt Cakes” White Chocolate Raspberry Cake “Major Style”
White Chocolate:
½
tsp. vanilla extract
8 T. powdered sugar
2 tsp. powdered rice milk (or you can do any powdered
milk alternative you can find and tolerate!)
Melt the cacao butter in the microwave at 30-second
intervals, stirring in between until all chunks are liquefied. Next, mix all other ingredients into
the melted cacao butter with a whisk until smooth. Pour into a plastic container and allow to harden (this took
about an hour at room temp.) Once
hardened, reserve ¼ of
the white chocolate for melting into the icing. The remaining ¾ of
the white chocolate, chop finely to put into the cake batter.

Cake:
1 pkg Duncan Hines yellow cake mix (or any other boxed
cake mix that is safe, can use gluten free also)
1 pkg Jell-O White Chocolate pudding (not instant,
read ingredients to be safe though!!)
¾ of
the white chocolate, chopped finely
1 c. So Delicious Vanilla Cultured Coconut milk “yogurt”
4 large eggs (or egg replaced to equal 4 eggs)
½ c
water
½ c
oil (I used vegetable oil but you could use any neutral tasting oil!)
½ pint
fresh raspberries, chopped
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Whisk all ingredients together except the
raspberries until thoroughly mixed.
Pour half of the batter into a Bundt pan that is greased with Pam or any
type of spray oil (or really whatever works best for your allergy
situation). Next, sprinkle
the chopped raspberries across the batter in the pan evenly, then gently spread
the remaining batter over the top until all of the raspberries are hidden. Bake for 45-60 minutes. The cake is done when a cake tester
comes out clean (may have some raspberry juice on it, that is ok!)
Frosting:
2 (8 oz) packages Daiya vegan cream cheese, softened
¼ of
the white chocolate, melted
3-4 c powdered sugar (I use the kind from whole foods
without corn starch, but use whatever is best for your family!)
1 T. vanilla extract
¼ tsp.
almond extract
With the whisk attachment on a mixer, or a whisk,
whisk together the softened Daiya and the white chocolate until thoroughly
mixed. Next, add the extracts and
powdered sugar until you get a mixture that resembles soft cream cheese icing. It will be kind of soft at this
stage! After the icing reaches the
desired consistency, scoop it into a gallon sized plastic bag, seal, and then
place in the refrigerator for an hour or 2, until it is firm. Once the cake is completely cooled, cut
the tip off of the bottom of the zip loc bag and pipe onto the cake as seen in
the picture!
Note about the icing: This is the only part of the cake that I didn’t just
LOVE. I am going to play with the
recipe, maybe add half shortening or earth balance butter to see if that kind
of neutralizes the pea proteiny taste in it, but my husband liked the icing and
if you’re not picky like me it’s fine!
