Print This Recipe



INGREDIENTS

2 (13-1/4-ounce size) packages frozen frosted chocolate cake
Kirsch, optional
3/4 cup raspberry preserves
1 cup heavy cream, well chilled
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar

Split each frozen cake in half to make 2 layers. (There will be 4 layers in all.)

On a serving plate, place 1 layer, frosting side up. Next, top with unfrosted layer. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons Kirsch, if using, then spread with half of raspberry preserves.

Top with another layer, frosting side up; then add unfrosted layer. Again, sprinkle with 2 tablespoons Kirsch, if using. Spread with rest of preserves.

With rotary beater, beat cream with sugar until stiff. Use to frost sides of cake all around; make a 1/2-inch border around top of cake. Serve at once or refrigerate until serving.

To serve, cut cake in half lengthwise. Then cut ech half into 1-inch slices.

Makes 12 to 14 servings
