Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the vanilla cake mix and the ingredients suggested on the box, adding the vanilla extract for flavor. Mix until smooth.
- Pour the batter into a greased 9x13 inch baking pan and bake for about 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan.
- Spread the raspberry jam evenly on top of the cooled cake.
- Fold fresh raspberries into the whipped cream and spread this mixture over the raspberry jam layer.
- Refrigerate the cake for at least an hour before serving. Dust with powdered sugar if desired just before serving.
Notes
Consider substituting the vanilla cake mix with a lemon cake mix for a zesty twist. Pay close attention to baking time, checking for doneness a couple of minutes ahead of the recommended time to avoid a dry cake.
