Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.

Add the cake mix, water, oil, and eggs to a large bowl, and beat on high speed for 3 minutes. Pour batter into the cake pan, and bake for 28-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Remove the cake from the oven, and let it cool completely.

To make the raspberry glaze, mix the cornstarch and sugar together in a small bowl with a whisk.

Add the raspberries and lemon juice to a small saucepan, and add the cornstarch and sugar mixture, then stir well.

Cook over medium heat for 15 minutes, stirring often, while chopping the berries with the spatula.

Once the mixture is done, refrigerate for 2 hours.

Once the cake and glaze has cooled, spread the mixture over the entire surface of the cake, then top with whipped topping.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Bloom Your Cornstarch for Silky Filling 🫐
Mix cornstarch with a small amount of cold water before adding to your raspberry mixture to prevent lumps and achieve a perfectly smooth, glossy filling without any grittiness.
Chill Cake Layers Before Assembly ❄️
Refrigerate your baked cake layers for at least 1 hour before filling and frosting—this prevents crumbling, allows cleaner cuts, and helps the whipped topping adhere better without sliding.
Reserve Fresh Raspberries Until Last ⏰
Add your prettiest fresh raspberries as a garnish immediately before serving rather than early; this keeps them vibrant, prevents juice bleeding, and maintains their delicate texture.
Stabilize Your Whipped Topping 🍶
If making whipped cream from scratch, add a tablespoon of lemon juice or cornstarch per cup of cream to prevent weeping and keep it stable for several hours, perfect for advance preparation.
Enhance Cake Mix with Vanilla Extract 🌾
Boost the boxed cake mix by reducing water by 2 tablespoons and replacing it with vanilla extract for a more premium, homemade vanilla flavor that complements the raspberries beautifully.
