CLASSIC WHITE LAYER CAKE WITH BUTTER FROSTING AND RASPBERRY ALMOND FILLING
Steps:
- 1. Set oven rack in middle position and pre-heat to 350. 2. Spray 2 9-inch cake pans with non-stick spray, place parchment rounds on bottom of pans, spray parchment rounds, and dust whole pans with flour, tapping out excess (I used non-stick spray with flour) 3. Pour milk, egg whites, and extracts in 2-cup measure, mix with fork until blended 4. Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in bowl of electric mixer at slow speed. Add butter, continue beating at slow speed until mixture resembles moist crumbs. 5. Add all but 1/2 Cup of milk mixture and beat at medium speed for 1 1/2 minutes. Add remaining 1/2 Cup of milk mixture and beat 30 seconds more. Scrape down sides and beat another 20 seconds on medium. 6. Divide batter evenly between 2 pans, making sure batter is spread to sides and top is smooth. Arrange pans at least 3 inches apart and bake until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, about 23-25 minutes 7. Let the cakes rest 3 minutes, loosen cake from sides of pan if necessary and invert onto wire racks. Reinvert and let cool completely, about 1 1/2 hour. 8. For the Frosting: Beat butter, confectioners' sugar, vanilla, milk, and salt in bowl of electric mixer at slow speed until sugar is moistened. Increase speed to medium-high, beat, stopping twice to scrape down bowl, until creamy and fluffy, about 1 1/2 minutes. Avoid overbeating 9. For the Filling: Combine 1/2 cup of frosting with the toasted chopped almonds and spread over the first layer. Carefully spread the jam on top, then cover with second cake layer. Spread frosting over top and sides of assembled cake. If enough frosting left over, pipe around perimeter of cake at base and top. 10. Coat sides of cake with toasted sliced almonds and top cake with fresh raspberries.
RASPBERRY-MOCHI BUTTER CAKE WITH MATCHA GLAZE
This cake elicits awe on sight, and it's a delightfully easy stir-and-bake dessert created by Margarita Manzke, the pastry chef and an owner at République, a restaurant and bakery in Los Angeles. Dense and chewy, mochi is a popular Japanese confection made from glutinous, sticky rice. It's typically formed into pocket-size balls or squares but can also be made into cakes. As the rice flour batter comes together, it may seem gritty, but it will soak up the coconut milk and evaporated milk and soften as it bakes. Unlike many cakes baked with traditional flour, this gluten-free cake is so rich and moist that it's hard to overbake. For the glaze, matcha powder is combined with confectioners' sugar and coconut milk, which gives the cake an earthy tone, but you could easily swap in freeze-dried raspberry or strawberry powder.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line the bottom of a 9-inch round cake pan with parchment paper and grease the sides and bottom of the pan with butter.
- Prepare the cake: In a large bowl, whisk together the rice flour, granulated sugar and baking powder. In a medium bowl, whisk together 3/4 cup coconut milk with the evaporated milk, eggs, vanilla and the 1/4 cup melted butter. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk thoroughly until combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Add half the raspberries to the cake batter one raspberry at a time, 1 inch apart, pushing each berry into the batter to fully submerge.
- Bake the cake until it's fully golden brown on top, the center is firm and no longer jiggly, and a toothpick or cake tester inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, 50 to 60 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack. After the cake has cooled slightly, about 10 minutes, run a knife around the inside edge of the pan. Continue to let cool in the pan.
- Prepare the matcha glaze: Add the confectioners' sugar, coconut milk and matcha powder to a medium bowl. Whisk until smooth; set aside.
- Once the cake has fully cooled, carefully invert it onto a cake platter or serving plate. Spoon the matcha glaze on top just until the top of the cake is coated. (You'll have some glaze leftover.) Using the back of the spoon and working in 1-inch increments, swipe the matcha glaze from the top of the cake gradually over the edge of the cake, so it drips decoratively down the sides. (You can add more glaze as needed, or serve any additional glaze with the cake.)
- Carefully place the remaining raspberries in a decorative pile in the center of the cake. Lightly dust raspberries with confectioners' sugar and serve immediately. Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
RASPBERRY VANILLA PUDDING PIE WITH PEANUT BUTTER CRUST
Steps:
- For the crust: Combine the rice cereal, peanut butter and corn syrup in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment and mix together on medium-low speed until the mixture is uniform and comes together into a ball. Transfer to a 9-inch pie dish and pat into the bottom and up the sides to form an even crust. Set aside.
- For the pudding: Bring the half-and-half and vanilla to a simmer over low heat. Whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, cornstarch and salt in a medium bowl (the mixture will be pretty dry). While whisking constantly, slowly pour or ladle the hot half-and-half into the egg mixture. Return the mixture to the saucepan, increase the heat to medium and cook, whisking, until the mixture thickens, the whisk leaves distinct trails and the mixture just starts to simmer at the edges of the pan, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and strain into a clean bowl. Stir in the butter.
- Pour the pudding into the prepared crust and smooth the top. Dot the top with spoonfuls of the strawberry jam and swirl through with the tip of a toothpick. Arrange the raspberries with their points facing upward around the edge of the pie where the pudding meets the crust. Refrigerate to set for at least 1 hour or overnight. Garnish with the mint if using.

PEANUT BUTTER CUP PIE WITH RASPBERRY SWIRL
Steps:
- Using a stand or hand mixer, whip heavy cream with 1/4 cup superfine sugar until firm peaks form. Do not overwhip the cream. In a separate bowl, mix cream cheese, peanut butter, and confectioners sugar until smooth. Using a spatula, fold in whipped cream, a portion at a time, until well blended. Be sure to fold and not overmix so you keep the airy texture of the whipped cream. Pour mixture into the cookie crust. Heat raspberry jam in the microwave for 15-20 seconds, thin with a bit of water if necessary. Drizzle jam in decorative swirls over the top of the pie. Chill entire pie for at least several hours before serving to allow it to set.
BUTTER PEARS WITH RASPBERRY SAUCE
Steps:
- For the pears Peel the skin off the pears, cut in half and remove stem and core. In a large sauce pan add sugar and water; bring up to boil to dissolve sugar. Add vanilla, Grand Marnier, butter and pears. Turn down to the lowest level and maintain barely a simmer. Simmer for a minimum of 3 hours or until the pears appear semi-translucent and easily give under touch. - Make sure the pot doesn't boil dry! - The pears will reduce in size as they cook as well, that is the reason for the large pears For the sauce Nothing special here, you can use whatever raspberry sauce recipe you want. This is the one I used. In a blender or food processor, purée the raspberries, granulated sugar and the lemon juice. Taste the sauce for sweetness and adjust the sugar or lemon juice as needed. Strain to remove seeds and refrigerate The raspberry sauce works very will here due to the tart of the berries going with the sweet of the pears. The sauce can be warmed slightly in a small sauce pan.
