Raspberry Butter Bundt Cake Recipes

Steps:

• For the cake: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Spray a bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray.
• In a large mixing bowl, use a handheld electric mixer to whisk the milk, jam, melted butter, liqueur and eggs. Add the cake mix and beat on medium speed for about 1 minute.
• Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and bake until a toothpick or cake tester comes out clean when inserted into the cake, about 35 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Remove the cake from the pan and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
• For the ganache: Put the chocolate, jam, and liqueur in a mixing bowl. Bring the cream to a low simmer in a small pan set over medium-high heat. Pour over the chocolate and let stand 10 minutes. Stir with a whisk until smooth. Let stand another 10 minutes.
• Place the cake on a cake stand or serving dish and pour the ganache over it, letting it drip down the sides. Use the raspberries and mint to decorate it to look like a holiday wreath if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, and position rack in center of oven.
• Grease and flour a 10-cup bundt pan.
• Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a medium bowl and set aside.
• Stir the milk and vanilla extract together in a small bowl, and also set aside.
• Beat the butter and 1 cup sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until fluffy, 2-3 minutes, scraping the side of the bowl as necessary.
• Add the egg yolks one at a time, until combined, scraping the bowl well after each addition.
• With the electric mixer on low, alternately add a quarter of the flour and a quarter of the milk mixture at a time, combining well after each addition.
• Remove this mixture from the mixer bowl, placing in a separate larger mixing bowl.
• Wash and dry the mixer bowl well, and swirl around the 1/2 tsp lemon juice to enhance the egg whites.
• Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form, about 2 minutes, then gently fold the egg white mixture with the remaining 1/2 cup sugar.
• Fold the egg white mixture into the cake batter, then add the raspberries and fold together until lightly combined.
• Spoon or gently pour the batter into the bundt pan, run a knife through to remove any air pockets and bake for 45- 50 minutes, until golden brown, or when a cake prick inserted near the centre of the cake comes out clean.
• Turn cake out onto a cake rack to cool.
• Dust with powdered sugar just before serving, and decorate with fresh raspberries and rose petals.
• Serve with clotted cream.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour one 9 inch tube pan.
• Separate the eggs. In a bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, beat the butter with the sugar until thoroughly creamed. Beat in the egg yolks, then the jam, vanilla extract, and dark rum.
• In a small bowl, stir together the flour and baking powder. Beat the flour mixture into the creamed mixture, then stir in the nuts. Stir about 1/3 of the beaten egg whites into the batter to lighten it and then fold in the rest gently but thoroughly. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
• Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 65 to 70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Transfer to a rack to cool. Makes about 12 servings.
