I have not made the cake portion of this recipe but I have used the raspberry white chocolate mousse as a filling for a chocolate cake. This is absolutely amazing. I did some substitutions based on other reviewers. I added 1 tsp. orange extract and a Tbls. or 2 of sugar to the raspberry puree to sweeten and I also added a box of vanilla pudding mix to the mousse as a stabilizer. I added the raspberry mixture to the white chocolate mousse and used it for a chocolate cake filling. It was amazing. I received tons of compliments and the cake literally disappeared. I have also substituted a lemon filling with the white chocolate mousse as a lemon cake filling and it is incredible. The lemon filling is from a lemon cake recipe on this site as well. I get requests for the lemom cake with the lemon filling all the time. Thank you so much for this recipe. It has been a great help in my cake making business.

I've made this cake twice, and I found it relatively easy to make since I'm just a beginner baker. It tastes great too but I don't think that much cream is necessary because I always tend to have globs of it left over. I also strain the raspberries a little after pureeing since I prefer not having the seedy texture.

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

I e-mailed this recipe to my daughter-in-law and she made it before me! She used strawberries and it was delicious!

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 brought this to work and got rave reviews! I made a few changes. I used white cake instead of lemon. I also added about 2 Tbsp of sugar to the raspberries, and added a box of vanilla pudding to the mousse. At first, the mousse turned out very runny and gritty, but I just used my hand mixer on high and mixed it until it became fluffy again. I will definitely make again!

Excellent Receipe. I did not add pudding mix as others suggested and my mousse frosting came out perfect. Here's a tip: Beat your cream in a VERY COLD metal bowl with ice cold beaters. (I freeze my bowl and beaters ahead of time). I also put the metal bowl inside a larger metal bowl filled with ice cubes, this makes your bowl and cream very cold. Beat it until it gets still peaks. I have to admit that I did not have white chocolate so I used a half of a bag of semi sweet chocolate chips instead. Also, I put the melted chocolate mixture into a large bowl (let it cool a bit) and folded the whipped cream into the chocolate with a wooded spoon, and with the wooded spoon very lightly mixing till it all blended.

This was sooo good!! I did have a little difficulty with the icing, but read another reviewer who added pudding mix to the icing. I did that and it firmed up wonderfully! I was able to pipe the icing out and it made a beautiful cake!
