How to Make Red Raspberry Cake

  1. In a small bowl, combine 1 cup fresh raspberries with 1 package (1 ounce) of unflavored gelatin. Set aside to allow the gelatin to bloom for 5-10 minutes.
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 13x9x2 inch baking pan.
  3. In a large bowl, sift together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  4. Add ½ cup shortening, 1 cup milk, and 2 large eggs to the dry ingredients.
  5. Beat at low speed until just combined, then beat at medium speed for 3 minutes until the batter is smooth and creamy.
  6. Arrange 1 cup mini marshmallows evenly in the prepared baking pan.
  7. Pour the cake batter over the marshmallows, spreading it evenly.
  8. Gently spoon the raspberry-gelatin mixture evenly over the batter.
  9. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before serving.
  11. Serve with whipped cream or a scoop of your favorite ice cream.
