A quick and easy layered dessert featuring moist red velvet cake and silky white chocolate cream, perfect for special occasions and crowd-pleasing gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box red velvet cake mix (about 15.25 oz / 432 g) or homemade red velvet cake
  • Ingredients called for on the cake mix box (usually eggs, oil, and water)
  • 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened (full-fat recommended)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 1/2 cup (60 g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 6 oz (170 g) white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate
  • Fresh raspberries or strawberries (optional)
  • White chocolate shavings or curls for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare red velvet cake batter according to box or homemade recipe instructions.
  2. Pour batter into a greased 9×13 inch (23×33 cm) baking pan and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  3. Let the cake cool completely before assembling.
  4. Melt white chocolate gently using a double boiler or microwave in short bursts, stirring frequently. Let cool slightly but not harden.
  5. In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth and creamy (2-3 minutes).
  6. In a separate chilled bowl, whip cold heavy cream until soft peaks form (3-5 minutes).
  7. Fold melted white chocolate gently into the cream cheese mixture, then fold in the whipped cream until smooth and combined.
  8. Cut cooled red velvet cake into roughly 1-inch cubes.
  9. In a trifle bowl or clear serving dish, layer one-third of the cake cubes, then spoon over a generous layer of white chocolate cream. Repeat layers two more times, finishing with cream on top.
  10. Garnish with white chocolate shavings and fresh berries if desired.
  11. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, before serving.

Notes

Use gentle folding to keep the cream light and airy. Melt white chocolate slowly to avoid burning or seizing. Let cake cool completely before assembling to prevent cream from melting. Chilling overnight improves flavor melding and texture. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Avoid microwaving leftovers to preserve texture; let sit at room temperature before serving.
