Raspberry Cake recipe - I baked myself my own birthday cake

[@joshuacooksthendraws]

Thank you everyone so much for the birthday wishes! My heart is so warmed by everyone's kindness and support. I updated my blog with this recipe for any who prefer seeing the process in written form: www.joshuacooksthendraws.com/blog/8a2zm9kl6r4twp8ygstwf4751hccxi-dfhw6

When cutting cakes in half as layers, move the cake around on a turntable. Let the knife go in and just move it in an inch at a time as you turn it. It will get through to the middle and separate.

[@joshuacooksthendraws]

Thanks for the tip! I was able to use that method better on the second cake haha.

The music in the beginning is so good for the mood! Like you’re setting off for adventure 😮

One suggestion in addition to the observations you already made: When finishing with a mirror glaze, try using a cake board that is a bit smaller than the cake itself. Then prop it on something stable, such as a wide cylinder, that is several inches smaller (I use a straight-sided Pyrex storage dish). When the bottom layer is a tender cake, even if it's frozen it's very helpful to have it on a cake board.

[@joshuacooksthendraws]

Oooh that would be so helpful! And so much easier to transfer. Will do next time! Thanks :)

Hi Josh, Happy Birthday! I always dreamed of making a mirror glazed cake as my birthday cake and I guess I'm not the only one 😆. May this year be filled with laughter, love, and all the things that make life worth living.

Happy Birthday and great video, but you may have accidentally put all of the captions on the first five seconds of the video

[@ashtonrsayles]

Hey dude, got recommended your first video back when it came out and have been checking in since. You have some really creative ideas and as a chef myself it is very heartwarming to see you grow as a cook and try new things in every video. Keep up the good work and happy belated birthday!

[@joshuacooksthendraws]

Thank you so much! I love to cook and learn so Im hoping to improve day by day and encouraging comments like yours definitely keep me motivated! :)

[@cthoniccassandra7526]

Happy birthday to you! This cake looks absolutely delicious. We made your kitchen sink cookies recently (LOVED them!) and now we have to find a time to make this cake. The color is so pretty and the taste must be amazing. 🥰

[@joshuacooksthendraws]

Thanks! So glad you enjoyed the compost cookies!

[@yogabbaa]

Happy birthday Joshua ❤ (a bit late haha). Honestly this cake looks really good. I’ve decided I’m gonna make the same one for my birthday next October. Thank you for the recipe and the idea ❤️ also the drawing is absolutely magical as always

[@yamsonthepan]

happiest birthday to you! thank you for sharing these videos that help me feel calm and warm :-) and inspires me to do what i love too! cheers!

[@jops1004]

happy birthday :)

[@RainbowSunshineRain]

Happy birthday! Before putting the cake batter in the oven, don’t shake it!! Be super gentle with it, you want to keep the foam bubbles in. I got so panicked when you shook it 😅😅

[@lapaarun7239]

I know I’m a bit late but happy birthday!!🥳🥳🥳 wish you all the best and I hope to see your channel grow more!!

[@shainazion4073]

You are supposed to work on a round cardboard cakeboard to give stability to the cake.

[@korsame]

I freaking love raspberry, so definitely trying this.

[@joshuacooksthendraws]

Yay! I hope it turns out great!

[@ryleel.1390]

happy late birthday! beautiful cake, btw. raspberries are amazing, aren't they?

[@joshuacooksthendraws]

They are! nomnom

[@shainazion4073]

A piping bag would be much easier for the barrier layer and any other work on a cake. Even with the pastry cream, build a barrier around the edge, fill in with more pastry cream. Usually pastry cream has whipped cream in it.

[@thelauraby]

Pastry cream (crème pâtissière) does not have whipped cream in it. If you combine pastry cream and whipped cream, you get crème légère, which can be used for many of the same applications when a lighter texture and flavor are desired.

[@shainazion4073]

@@thelauraby Thanks!

[@lavender2290]

I once made a lemon raspberry mouse cake also with a mirror glaze!! This reminded me. It wasn’t as pretty though haha 🫶

[@joshuacooksthendraws]

I was so nervous about the mirror glaze. And I dont know when Ill try it again hahah. It was a lot of work!! Thanks! :)
