Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350ðF (175ðC). Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan.
-
Prepare cake batter according to package directions, using the specified amount of egg and water.
-
Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
-
Allow cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
-
While cake cools, prepare the filling: In a large bowl, whip heavy cream, sifted sugar, and almond extract until stiff peaks form.
-
Once cooled, carefully slice the cake horizontally into three even layers using a long serrated knife.
-
Place the bottom layer on a serving plate. Spread with 1/3 cup raspberry jam, then top with 2/3 cup of the whipped cream mixture.
-
Repeat the layering process with the middle cake layer, adding another 1/3 cup jam and 2/3 cup cream.
-
Top with the final cake layer. Spread remaining whipped cream over the top and sides if desired.
-
Refrigerate the assembled torte for at least 2 hours to set before slicing and serving.
