**Raspberry Angel Torte**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 package (16 ounces) angel food cake mix
– 2 cups fresh raspberries
– 1 cup heavy whipping cream
– 1/4 cup powdered sugar
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven according to the package instructions for the angel food cake mix. Prepare the angel food cake batter as directed on the package.
2. Gently fold in half of the fresh raspberries into the cake batter, being careful not to crush the berries.
3. Pour the batter into an ungreased tube pan, spreading it evenly.
4. Bake the cake as directed on the package, or until the top is golden brown and the cake springs back when touched.
5. Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and immediately invert the pan onto a wire rack to cool completely. This step helps prevent the cake from collapsing as it cools.
6. While the cake is cooling, prepare the raspberry whipped cream. In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form.
7. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract while continuing to beat the cream until stiff peaks form.
8. Gently fold in the remaining fresh raspberries into the whipped cream, reserving a few for garnish.
9. Once the angel food cake has cooled, run a knife around the edges of the pan to loosen the cake. Carefully remove the cake from the pan and place it on a serving platter.
10. Spread the raspberry whipped cream mixture generously over the top of the cake, creating decorative swirls with a spatula.
11. Garnish the top of the torte with the reserved fresh raspberries and mint leaves for an extra touch of elegance.
12. Serve slices of the Raspberry Angel Torte chilled and enjoy the delicate balance of flavors and textures.
