Foodie Friday: 5 Minute Raspberry Cream Cake

One tiny raspberry is beautiful. But if you put a whole bunch of them together, something magical happens: a divine dessert.
When time is short and company is coming, I rely on a few sure-fire recipes, and Five Minute Raspberry Cream Cake is one of my favorites.
Five Minute Raspberry Cream Cake
What You Need:
  • 1 sugar free angel food cake
  • 2 boxes raspberries
  • 2 cans Pillsbury Creamy Supreme Reduced Sugar Vanilla icing
  • Whipped cream (sweeten with Splenda to taste)
  • Ice sides and top of cake. Whip cream and spoon into a pastry bag with a star tip (or use a plastic bag) and decorate top and bottom of cake. Pile raspberries in the cake's center hole. Garnish top and bottom of cake with raspberries.

(A word about the reduced sugar icing. It has 50% less sugar than, say Betty Crocker's Whipped Cream icing, but it has 20 more calories per two tablespoons. It also has 17 carbs per serving, as opposed to the BC's 15. We're trying to use less sugar, not eliminate it. The reduced sugar icing is good--even Dr. Gollum liked it--but I sure wish it had 50% less calories.)

If you're looking for a quick dessert that's refreshing, indulgent, and not horribly unhealthy, you might want to try it.
I'll meet you on the porch in 2 minutes for a sample.

Yummm, I love angel food cake & raspberries! In fact, I'd love to have a piece right now! If it weren't so late, I'd bake a cake!

I'm linked & Mr Linky appears to be working! Yay!!!

PS Since you're trying to reduce sugar in your diet, have you tried Stevia? I found it at Walmart in the vitamin/supplement aisle. My only problem with it is how SWEET it really is... I tried half a packet in my oatmeal & it was way too sweet for me.

Mary said...

This cake is a stunner. Your photographs are spectacular and I'm sure your gorgeous dessert tastes as good as it looks. Blessings.

Suzy said...

Beautiful dessert and I love that it isn't too hard on the calories. It looks positively sinful. A few more weeks and I might be able to pick some raspberries of my own! That will be a very happy day.

Hi Michael Lee! Yum! This looks wonderful! Best part for me...it looks easy! I've gotten lazy since my little chickadee flew the coop! And I don't know why, but raspberries seem so frenchy to me! But then, I find the frenchiness in everything!! lol Thanks for the great recipe! I'm saving it for the 4th! I hope you are having a wonderful week!...hugs...Debbie

Chandy said...

I don't know what's more delicious, your photos or the actual cake. This is a keeper, we love raspberries and angel food. Great info about the frosting. How does Dr. Gollum feel about nutrasweet? ~ Robyn

Love raspberries and this is a great way to have them. YUM! That is one thing I would really like to grow is raspberries. Wouldn't it be wonderful to be able to walk out your back door to get them?

Foley said...

Looks amazing!!! Love the closeup photo of the raspberry... all of them are making me very hungry! (And this would be at least a little guilt free..)

That looks wonderful! I'll have to share this recipe with my mom for my granddaddy - he's trying to limit his sugar intake but has a HORRIBLE sweet tooth, poor guy! Thanks!

Cass @ That Old House said...

LOVE that first picture of the single raspberry -- looks like an exotic sea creature or something. GREAT looking cake -- and a boon for those of us cutting out as much sugar as possible... thanks!!!

Helen said...

Your photography skills rank in the Master Category!!!!!!

Peg @ Bloomfield Farm said...

Oops... misspelled my own name on Mr. Linky! I think I need some "brain food" like your delicious-looking raspberry cake. Betty Crocker is just trying to remove the guilt from her icing because she didn't leave out much else!

Cathy said...

Your photos alone are good enough to eat! What a gorgeous dessert. Raspberries are my favorite fruit.

Beverly said...

Ooh, I'm licking my lips over here. Yummo!

cindy said...

Oh my gosh! These photos belong in a magazine! Beautiful!

Susan (Between Naps on the Porch) said...

Looks totally scrumptious! I love the close-up of raspberry. Sometimes we think we know what something looks like...but we really don't. Beautiful and tasty!

The Bloom Girls said...

Red raspberries are my favorite. My grandmother had several red raspberry bushes in her back yard. When in season, she would prepare a small bowl of them just for me. I could barely wait for the car to stop to get out and through her door to the kitchen. It's been a very long time and I remember the raspberries and each week she would sew a new dress for me and hang it on the handle of her pantry cabinet.

Your cake is beautiful and I love that is takes only 5 minutes.....

Have a nice weekend!
Nola

laurie @ bargain hunting said...

Oh, it is beautiful! I'd ALMOST hate to cut it. laurie

cedwards55 said...

Michael, Not only does this cake look wonderful, but your photography skills would make Gourmet Magazine weep with envy. I'll be on the porch in two minutes for a huge slice of that cake!

What a lovely creation. I love the vanilla white against the pure white of the whipped cream. Looks luscious... Nancy

Mary @ Boogieboard Cottage said...

Hi Gollum, Thank you for visiting my blog! :O) I must say that your raspberry cake looks so delicious! I like that you went with sugar free, gotta watch those carbs! I'm definitely going to have to make this cake. :O)

Justine :o )

Tammy518 said...

Just wanted to let you know that we had family come in from out of town last night for our son's high school graduation this week, and I fixed your cake. They loved it, but said it was too pretty to eat. Mine didn't look nearly as pretty as yours, though. I'd love to take a cake decorating class sometime.

abeachcottage said...

wow, I'm not sure what's better the raspberries or the photos!

Sarah

Mama said...
