As quickly because the cake is totally cooled, it’ll launch from the pan. Each run a butterknife throughout the sides of the tube pan and gives the cake a shimyshake out of the pan, or gently take away the sides of the removable bottom pan and pull the cake off the underside of the pan. Place, bottom facet up, on a plate or platter.
Whereas the cake cools, we’ll make the softest whipped cream to prime the cake. Calmly whip heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla. Mash raspberries and swirl into the whipped cream.
Swoop all through the very best of the cake with an offset spatula or a small knife. Sprinkle with a handful of latest raspberries and dried rose petals in case you’re extra fancy.
