Raspberry White Chocolate Truffle Tuxedo Cake. A multilayered celebration cake that is sure to be the hit of any worthy occasion.
This Raspberry White Chocolate Truffle Tuxedo Cake is a pretty impressive looking dessert and probably looks pretty intimidating to beginner bakers but if you break it down into its individual components, it isn't difficult at all really.
It does take plenty of time to cool the raspberry and white chocolate fillings but you could actually do that a day in advance if you like. It is important to chill this cake thoroughly before serving to get a nice clean cut to the slices.
I usually make it the day before and do the chocolate ganache finish and garnishing before serving.

Instructions
To prepare the chocolate cake
Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl and beat with electric mixer for 2 minutes.
Pour into 2 greased and floured 9 inch cake pans.
Bake at 350 degrees F for 30-35 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool completely.
Split cake into 4 layers.
To prepare the raspberry filling
Bring the raspberries and sugar to a very gentle boil for 5 minutes. Keep the stirring to an absolute minimum so as not to break up the raspberries too much.
Slowly stir in the dissolved corn starch and cook for an additional minute.
Remove from heat and chill thoroughly in the refrigerator before constructing the cake.
To prepare the White Chocolate Truffle Filling
Scald ½ cup whipping cream almost to boiling. Pour over white chocolate chips and let stand for 3-4 minutes before stirring until smooth.
Cool this mixture almost to room temperature before folding it into the other 1 cup whipping cream that has been beaten to soft peaks.
Chill this mixture thoroughly before constructing the cake.
To prepare the Chocolate Buttercream Frosting
Beat all ingredients together well until light and fluffy using only enough milk to bring the frosting to a thick spreadable consistency.
To prepare the Chocolate Ganache Glaze
Scald whipping cream almost to boiling and pour over the chocolate chips.
Let stand for 3-4 minutes before stirring well until smooth.
To construct the cake
Lay the first layer of cake on the serving plate and pipe a border of chocolate buttercream around the top to form a sort of well.
Fill the interior with half the white chocolate filling and place the next layer on top.
Pipe another border of chocolate buttercream on the top edge of the cake and fill that border with the white raspberry filling.
Add the next layer and pipe another border of chocolate buttercream which will be filled in with the remaining white chocolate filling.
Use the remaining chocolate buttercream to frost a thin layer of icing over the entire cake.
Chill for a couple of hours hour pouring on the chocolate ganache over the top and quickly spreading it to cover the sides.
Garnish with any combination of chocolate curls, white chocolate drizzle and raspberries.

Absolutely Breathtaking!!! My boyfriend and I made this cake together and it was a HUGE hit for both of us!! I'm now making a much larger version for a friends birthday coming this weekend.

I just made this cake for the first time, have not eaten yet but can't wait!!
Great recipe! I made this for a work colleague and was very popular. I think the word "devine" was used to describe. Thanks!!
Has anyone figured out how to stabilize the cream layer?
I am using an icing dam to try holding it in, although the dam seems to need to be very thick and totally without gaps in order to work.
I think the root cause is that my cream layer is somehow more liquid than what's shown in the recipe's photo. But I'm not sure how to remedy that without altering the recipe.
Hi Moosehead. Make sure that you are letting the chocolate mixture cool enough. For a stiffer texture try using the 1/2 cup of cream to scald and use 1 cup of whipping cream instead of a 1/2 cup to whip and fold the melted chocolate through.
Thanks Barry. But here's what I don't get: In the photo, the cream layers look really solid, basically like buttercream frosting. I would have expected that as soon as the cake gets to room temperature, the white layers would start to liquify due to the pressure of the layers above destroying the whipped cream bubbles.
Does this cake just need to stay cold the whole time until serving, in order to look like it does in that photo?
The filling is dairy based so yes, naturally I keep it in the fridge until serving.
Just wondering if you have tried this with strawberries
vs the raspberries?
I have. Very good too.
Oh this is ultimate for me...
