Unbelievable Chocolate-Raspberry Dream Torte - Try It Now!

[jenniferlynne]

I made the Chocolate-Raspberry Dream Torte (recipe comes with the pans) and it was unbelievable!!!! I WILL be making this at my shows (I will bring the cakes already prepared. It was so good and so easy!!! It's really good when you make it, but it's 10 times better after it sets overnight in the fridge!! You all have got to try it!!

Sounds great, but I did not order the pans. Could you post the recipe? I have the cake pans- could you make it in them?

I looked at the recipe when I opened my pans and thought it sounded good. Thanks for the heads up. I will definitely try it.

It should work with the regular pans too. Here is the recipe:

Chocolate-Raspberry Dream Torte

1 pkg devil's food cake mix (plus ingredients to make cake)
1 pkg (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 TBSP finely grated orange zest
1 container (8 oz) frozen whipped topping, thawed
1/4 cup seedless raspeberry jam, divided
1 cup raspberries (optional)

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour torte pans, set aside. Prepare cake mix according to directions; divide batter equally between pans. Bake 18-22 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in centers comes out clean. Remove from oven to cooling rack, cool 5 minutes. Remove cakes from pans; cool completely.

2. Combine cream cheese, powdered sugar and orange zest in Classic Batter Bowl; whisk until smooth. Fold in whipped topping. Place one cake layer well-side up onto serving platter. Spread half of the filing over the cake layer. Place raspberry jam in Prep Bowl; microwave on High 10-20 seconds or until warm; whisk until smooth. Drizzle half of the jam over filling. Stack remaining cake layer on top of first, well-side up; spread with remaining filling. If desired, arrange raspberries over filling; drizzle with remaining jam.

No problem! It is good!!!!

 

[gilliandanielle]

The only problem is I will have to make two so I can eat one and still have the "one" I made for when DH get home!

 

[jenniferlynne]

Ha Ha!!!! It is that good too!! I think I've had three pieces so far and I made it late last night. I would eat it for every meal, but I can't afford to buy bigger clothes right now.

I have found better flavor using the dark chocolate cake mix also dark chocolate fudge. Better looking too.

 

[gilliandanielle]

Do you think it would work with brownie cakes instead?? Oh, yummy!!

 

[pamperedharriet]

Boy does that recipe sound yummy!!!!!!!! Good idea for shows!

 

[Jilleysue]

WOW..that sounds incredible..can't wait to get my Torte Pans...LOL

 

[GourmetGirl]

I was so going to wait to order my samples until I did 6 shows in February... now you have me wanting to order now! mmmm... chocolate...

 

[pamperedharriet]

I know what you mean. This torte pan set is on my wish list!!

 

[Jilleysue]

Yeah I wasn't gona get it until I saw the seasons best and I want to make that rum cake....Gotta get it!!!

Now that chocolate one is up my alley. DH doesn't like coconut, so I'm not even sure I should bother with the Island Breeze Rum Cake.

 

[pamperedharriet]

I don't like coconut either, Rebecca.

 

[rebeccastt]

Really? He says it's a texture thing....I LOVE coconut. I'm dreaming of the Chocolate Macaroon Pizza right now. Maybe I'll just make it and share some with the neighbors.

Oh yum!!! How about making the cakes with dark chocolate. Then make the filling the same, except instead of using raspberry jam, use cherry pie filling. It would be like a black forrest cake with a twist!

 

[jrstephens]

Thanks for posting the recipe Jennifer!

 

[raebates]

Mmmmmmm, chocolate!

 

[gilliandanielle]

I don't like coconut either, but thought the recipe would be weird without it. I will stick with the rum cake at shows and the chocolate at home. I am not sure I want to be the largely pregnant 22 year old buying rum though!
