DIRECTIONS
Prepare and bake cake mix according to package directions for two 9 inch round pans. Cool cakes completely, then split each in half to make 4 layers.
To make Raspberry Filling: In a blender or food processor, puree raspberries. In a saucepan, heat pureed raspberries until boiling. Mix cornstarch with a small amount of water and stir into raspberries. cook, stirring constantly, for 5 minutes, or until thickened. Set aside to cool.
To make White Chocolate Mousse: In the top of a double boiler, heat white chocolate with 1 cup of the cream, stirring occasionally, until chocolate is melted and smooth. Remove from heat and allow to cool to lukewarm. Whip the remaining 2 cups cream until soft peaks form. Stir in the vanilla. Fold 1/3 of the whipped cream into the white chocolate mixture, then quickly fold in the remaining whipped cream. Do not over-mix, or the mousse will become grainy.
Place 1 cake layer on serving plate and spread with white chocolate mousse. Place the next layer on top and spread with raspberry filling. Repeat next layer of cake with mousse. Cover with the final layer of cake. Frost top and sides with mousse. Pipe a border with remaining mousse. Garnish with fresh berries.

This was a wonderful, wonderful cake. I made it for co-worker's party, and not only was the whole thing eaten, but every single person there asked for the recipe, and even talked about it days later. A number of the other reviewers mentioned that the mousse/whipped cream concoction was too runny. That was really my only complaint about this recipe; the mousse was difficult to work with, especially when it came to frosting the outside of the cake. However, after some experimentation, I found that instant pudding mix, added (dry) to the whipped cream/white chocolate works exceptionally well. Not only does it stabilize the mousse, but it also adds flavor. I recommend trying either the vanilla pudding mix or the white chocolate. Also, to add an extra boost of flavor to the raspberry, try adding a few drops of orange extract. It enhances the berry flavor quite well. I also recommend adding sugar to taste. I agree that the raspberry puree can be rather tart. However, don't sweeten too much; a hint of tartness offsets the sweetness of the cake and the mousse. Hope that helps!

I made this for Easter dinner and it was a huge hit. It was fairly easy, and very impressive looking. Th combined flavours really complimented each other. The only problem I had was that the White Chocolate Mousse was to soft to pipe, so I would suggest melting the chocolate with only 1/2 cup of the cream instead of a whole cup. This is a real keeper for my family

Tastes DELICIOUS!! I would double the raspberry filling, as I did rasp. on the bottom, then mousse, then raspberry. I also thickened up the raspberries with a little more cornstarch, so it was like a thick jam. The mousse was a little sloppy though, I think maybe if you refrigerate before you ice the rest of the cake it would go on a little smoother, esp. on the sides. Will definitely make this again.

I haven't tried this recipe but i used it as a reference to make my white chocolate mousse and it turned out great. First melt chocolate with some heat cream and whisk till smooth. let cool down. if you don't it will melt the whipped cream which some who rated this recipe obviously did. whip the cream till soft peaks form and add a stabilizer and sugar to sweeten. whipped cream stabilizers are sold in specialty stores or online. piping gel also stabilizes cream to a nice thick consistency. next mix 1/4 of whipped cream into chocolate that has been cooled. next fold in another 1/4 of cream. do slowly so as keep airy and thick. you'll love these tips if used correctly!!!!!!!!!!!

The flavors complemented each other very well, but insted of the "mousse" I simply made a white chocolate ganache to frost with. I also drizzled each layer with a lemon syrup I made from lemon juice and confectioner's sugar. I'll definitely use this one again!

Turned out ugly — I had trouble whipping the cream. Definitely my own fault with reading the recipe, etc. Tasted just fine — got rave reviews. Not the easiest cake to make, not a quick project.

This was a nice dessert and not too hard to make. I took other cooks advice and added a box of instant white chocolate pudding to mousse and this worked out well. I will make this again

I really wish I had read the reviews on this cake before making it. I followed the directions up until combining the cream & chocolate. I (admit it!) messed up and put the cream in before mixing it, and tried to compensate by adding powdered sugar. Needless to say, it ended up as a big, gloppy mess. Now that I've thrown out the entire batch, my naked cake waiting for its frosting, I'm off to Cub Foods to buy some whip cream. I'm just going to use regular pre-whipped cream and the raspberry mix. I'm also going to add a little sugar to the raspberries, as one reviewer suggested.

This cake was fun to make but messy because the fillings of chocolate mousse and rasberry were not consistent enough. It made it hard to spread the icing on top. I had to ad suger to the rasberry and chocolate mousse, but other than that it was a success! I added a personnal touch for a birthday celebration ( as seen on the picture) and everyone loved it. I also added food coloring to the cake mix to make it fun.

Comments: the chocolate mousse: I took the advice of others and only put 1/2 cup of cream in with the chocolate. There is way too much cream in this recipe. Mine turned gritty the instant I began folding the stuff together. The consistency was not that of mousse either. Also, while sitting in the fridge waiting for the cake to be ready, it totally separated, and I was left with a cup of cream in the bottom of the bowl. next time I would use a lot less cream. The raspberry was fine, watch out though. It doesn't seem to thicken so you think you need more starch. But it does thicken quite a bit after. I think it needs sugar in the berries.
