FAQ:

Can I use homemade raspberry jam instead of store-bought?
Yes, homemade raspberry jam will work perfectly! Just ensure it has a similar consistency to store-bought jam for easy absorption into the cake.

Can I use a different type of cake mix?
Absolutely! You can use any cake mix you prefer, such as chocolate or lemon, for a twist on this dessert.

How do I prevent the whipped cream from deflating?
Be sure not to overwhip the cream, as this can cause it to turn into butter. Whip until you see soft peaks form, and then stop to maintain the light texture.

Can I make this cake ahead of time?
Yes! This cake can be made a day ahead of time and kept refrigerated. It actually enhances in flavor after resting, making it a great make-ahead dessert.
