I will be using the name MIX & BAKE for the recipes that don’t require using an electric mixer (the kind of recipes I love to design!). This Raspberry Caramel Cake looks really pretty but you can make it super easily just by mixing the ingredients in a bowl and pouring the batter into the pans. The same technique goes with the filling. Only thing that requires whipping is the buttercream covering the cake but you can serve the cake as a Naked Cake without the buttercream!

Whip the soft butter, icing sugar, milk, vanilla sugar and food colouring with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Cover the cake with buttercream using a spatula. Transfer the rest of the buttercream into a piping bag with a star nozzle. Pipe rosettes onto the cake.
Melt the white chocolate in the microwave or over simmering water. Add the vegetable oil and let cool for a while. Make the chocolate drips using a small spoon. Decorate the cake.
