Raspberry Filled Cream Cake

Raspberry Filling (below)
3 ounces white baking bars (white chocolate), from 6-ounce package, chopped
2 1/4 cups Gold Medal® all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 2/3 cups whipping (heavy) cream
3 eggs
1 teaspoon almond extract
White Chocolate Frosting (below)


Make Raspberry Filling. Heat oven to 350ºF. Grease and flour bottoms and sides of 2 round pans, 8 or 9x1 1/2 inches.

Melt white baking bars over low heat, stirring occasionally; cool. Mix flour, sugar, baking powder and salt; reserve. Beat whipping cream in chilled large bowl with electric mixer on high speed until stiff; reserve. Beat eggs on high speed about 5 minutes or until thick and lemon colored; beat in melted baking bar and almond extract on low speed.

Fold egg mixture into whipped cream. Add flour mixture, about 1/2 cup at a time, folding gently after each addition until blended. Pour into pans.

Bake 8-inch rounds 35 to 40 minutes, 9-inch rounds 30 to 35 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes; remove from pans. Cool completely on wire rack, about 1 hour.

Fill layers with Raspberry Filling. Prepare White Chocolate Frosting; spread over side and top of cake.
