CAKE:
PREHEAT oven to 350°F. Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans; set aside. Microwave chopped chocolate and 1/2 cup butter in large microwaveable bowl on HIGH 2 min. or until butter is melted; stir until chocolate is completely melted. Cool slightly.

ADD eggs, cake mix, milk and vanilla; beat with electric mixer on low speed just until moistened, stopping frequently to scrape side of bowl. Beat on medium speed 2 min. or until well blended. Pour evenly into prepared pans.

BAKE 25 to 28 min. or until toothpick inserted in centres comes out clean. Cool cakes in pans 10 min; remove from pans to wire racks. Cool completely.

PLACE one cake layer on serving plate; spread with layers of 2/3 cup of the prepared frosting and the jam. Cover with remaining cake layer. Frost top and side of cake with remaining frosting. Top with raspberries just before serving. Store in refrigerator.

kraft kitchens tips

Marbled White Chocolate Raspberry Cake

Prepare batter as directed. Remove 1 cup of the batter; place in small bowl. Stir in 2 Tbsp. Kraft Pure Raspberry Jam and 2 drops red food colouring. Spoon remaining batter evenly into prepared pans. Drop spoonfuls of the pink batter over plain batter in each pan; cut through batters with knife several times for marble effect. Bake and frost as directed.

How to Frost A Cake

If the cake is very soft and crumbly, apply a "crumb coating" to prevent cake crumbs from spreading into the frosting. Spread a thin layer of frosting over the entire cake and let stand 5 to 10 min. to dry. Spread remaining frosting over cake.

I cut back on the white chocolate to make this (i put 3 in the batter & 3 in the frosting) since the prev. comments all seem to state how sweet it is & the cake was still very sweet, but not too much. I made this for my mother's b-day & everyone who had a piece enjoyed (:

I thought it was very sweet and the cake very heavy, even while making it I thought I mixed the ingredients wrong since it was very thick texture. The icing was too sweet although my sister loved it and asked me to make it again. Mind you she is pregnant and craving sweets.

I thought the frosting was great, but the cake itself was quite heavy and dry. Everyone at work loved it, but I felt it was less that par.

Great frosting and very easy to spread. At first, I thought this cake was too sweet but later it tasted better as it sat in fridge for awhile. I used another filling instead because I don't like jam in cakes. I made my own filling with frozen raspberries- I boil it with some water and strained out the seeds and added sugar and then thickened it with a little corn starch and added some of the frosting to it.

Overall the cake was pretty good. The frosting is too sweet and heavy, I would use less choclate and sugar next time.
