Heavenly Raspberry Dessert

Heavenly Raspberry Dessert

Light-tasting and delicious! My mother’s famous dessert recipe has completed many holiday meals and makes a stunning summery cake. This works beautifully with strawberries as well.

Prep Time:
30 mins
Additional Time:
2 hrs
Total Time:
2 hrs 30 mins
Yield:
1 9-inch dessert cake
Servings:
10

Ingredients

  • 1 (9 inch) angel food cake
  • 2 (3 ounce) packages raspberry-flavored gelatin mix (such as Jell-O®)
  • 1 ¼ cups boiling water
  • 1 (15 ounce) package frozen raspberries in syrup, thawed and undrained
  • 1 pint heavy whipping cream

Directions

Step 1
Butter a 9-inch tube pan. Break angel food cake into chunks; set aside.

Step 2
Stir raspberry gelatin and boiling water together in a bowl until gelatin is dissolved; place gelatin in the refrigerator to cool slightly, about 10 minutes. Stir raspberries with syrup into gelatin.

Step 3
Beat cream in a chilled glass or metal bowl with an electric mixer until soft peaks form; fold whipped cream into raspberry mixture.

Step 4
Pour about 1/4 cup of raspberry mixture into prepared pan. Place 1/3 of cake chunks into pan; pour 1/3 of remaining raspberry mixture over cake. Repeat layering with remaining ingredients, ending with the raspberry mixture. Chill in refrigerator until firm, about 2 hours.

Step 5
To remove from pan, center a serving plate over tube pan; invert.

Cook’s Note:

Whipped cream can be sweetened to taste with sugar if desired.

    My mother made this for us,when I was young, in the 50’s and 60’s. At one point using Cool-Whip. This is like my childhood, only better.

    Made for Easter 2021. Would make in a trifle bowl next time. Also look up ahead of time how to get peaks with the whipping cream. I am not sure mine were high enough.

    Its ok, but we changed it a bit. Made the Angel food cake, cut it around the middle about 2″ from the top. We hollowed out a trench circle about 3″ deep. Then spooned the jell-o and fruit mixture into that circle. replaced the top and put it in the frig until ready to serve. You can then frost it with whipped cream just before serving or cut and serve with a dollop of whipped cream. I’ve used Straberries too.
