How to Make Red Raspberry Dessert

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare the cake layers: In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Divide the batter evenly among three 9-inch round cake pans.
  3. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting them onto wire racks to cool completely.
  4. Make the raspberry filling: In a medium saucepan, combine the raspberries, sugar, and cornstarch. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
  5. Make the whipped cream: In a large bowl, beat the heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
  6. Assemble the dessert: Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread half of the raspberry filling over the cake layer. Top with half of the whipped cream. Repeat with the second cake layer, remaining raspberry filling, and remaining whipped cream. Top with the final cake layer.
  7. Chill the dessert in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving. Garnish with fresh raspberries and a sprinkle of powdered sugar (optional).
