Raspberry Mint Poke Cake Food

RASPBERRY MINT POKE CAKE

Steps:

• 1. Bake the cake as directed using 2-8" or 2-9" cake pans. Let the cake cool completely in the pans.
• 2. While the cake is cooling prepare the Jello with 1/2 cup hot water, making sure the Jello is completely melted before adding the cold water. Stir completely until clear and set aside to cool.
• 3. When the cake layers are cool, using a fork, poke holes all over the cake and make some of them deep. Pour the jello evenly all over the two cake layers and place the pans into the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours.
• 4. Weigh out the confectioners sugar and sift into a large bowl; set aside. Measure out 8oz of shortening and set into a large mixing bowl fitted with a paddle. Add in the meringue powder and beat on low speed until combined. Add in the vanilla then drizzle in the heavy cream, once combined turn the mixer up to medium and let it beat for about 2 minutes. Slowly add in the confectioners sugar; a cup at a time to prevent splashing; scrape down the sides of the bowl as well. When all of the sugar is incorporated turn the mixer on high for about one minute to smooth out the lumps. Add in the mint extract at this point.
• 5. Carefully remove the cake layers from the pans and assemble the cake. Garnish with fresh raspberries and mint. Place the cake back into the refrigerator until ready to serve or serve right away. Enjoy!

SEVENTIES RASPBERRY MINT "JELLY" CAKE

Steps:

• Reduce the red wine: Combine the wine and sugar in a medium pot over medium heat and reduce until there are 2 cups total liquid, 30 to 40 minutes.
• Make the gelatin: In a large bowl, combine the gelatin with 5 1/2 cups boiling water, then stir in the still warm reduced red wine. Stir until dissolved. Add the cranberry sauce; stir until melted.
• Create the first layer: Layer 1/2 pint raspberries, top-side down, in each crevice of a 10- to 15-cup Bundt mold. Imagine you are looking at them and building this dessert upside down (because you are) and will see the opposite side when the dessert is unmolded. Gently pour enough of the cranberry mixture to cover the first layer of fruit, about half. Place the mold on a sheet pan and chill in the refrigerator until mostly set, about 2 hours.
• Create the second layer: On top of the set up gelatin, gently arrange another half pint of raspberries all through the center of the mold. Put mint leaves wherever there are gaps. Pour the remaining gelatin carefully on top. Refrigerate for another 2 hours or up to overnight.
• To serve: Dip the mold very briefly in a large bowl of warm water to loosen the gelatin from the sides of the mold. Place a serving plate or cake stand on top of the Bundt mold and invert onto the plate. Unmold the cake. Top with mint leaves and arrange the last half pint raspberries around the edges. Serve with the whipped cream.
