As I walked through the local Wal-Mart one day, I saw a display of cake mixes. Well, the picture on the box did look really good, but the price was higher than I usually spend on cake mixes. But, wait a minute! Everything you need is in the box-cake mix, frosting, filling. If I bought them all separate I would pay more. It's worth a try and who can really resist White Chocolate Raspberry? Not me!

I took it home and made the cake. The extra ingredients were about the same as go into a regular cake mix-water, eggs, and oil. Directions were normal-blend cake mix, eggs, water, and oil on low speed for 30 seconds, then beat at medium speed for 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Bake in preheated oven 24-28 minutes for (2) 9-inch layers. Cool on wire rack for 15 minutes. Remove from pans and allow to cool completely before frosting.

For the frosting, you will need 1 cup of softened butter. Beat butter in bowl at medium speed for 1 minute, scrape sides, add frosting mix labeled A & B. Blend on low speed for 30 seconds then beat on medium speed for 4 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally.

Now you are ready to assemble cake. Spread raspberry filling over one of the layers, saving a little to decorate the cake. Top with remaining layer, and frost the whole cake with the white chocolate frosting. Now, with the remaining raspberry filling you can decorate the cake. If you are a little artistic, you can have swirls like what is on the box or some other design.

Now the best part. Taste. Oh that is so good. Every one loves it. When I baked this cake at my daughter's house, it was all gone the same day. There should be enough to serve 12. That day it served 9.

Here are some other flavors available in Signature Desserts:

* Orange Dreamsicle
* Chocolate Silk Torte
* Hot Fudge Brownie Sundae
* Chocolate Molten Lava Cake
