How to cook deliciously - Special Raspberry Torte

1. Stage

Place egg whites in a large bowl; let stand at room temperature 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°. Line bottoms of 2 greased 9-in. round baking pans with parchment; grease paper.

2. Stage

In a large bowl, cream butter, shortening and sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Beat in extract. In another bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with buttermilk, beating well after each addition.

3. Stage

With clean beaters, beat egg whites on medium speed until stiff peaks form. Fold into batter.

4. Stage

Transfer batter to prepared pans. Bake 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean and edges are golden.

5. Stage

Cool in pans 10 minutes before removing to wire racks; remove paper. Cool completely. In a large bowl, beat shortening and butter until combined. Beat in confectioner's sugar alternately with extract and enough milk to reach a spreading consistency.

6. Stage

Using a long serrated knife, cut each cake horizontally in half. Place 1 cake layer on a serving plate; spread with half the preserves. Top with another cake layer and 3/4 cup frosting. Place third cake layer over frosting; spread with remaining preserves. Top with remaining cake layer.

7. Stage

Frost top and sides of cake with 1 cup frosting, forming a crumb coating. Refrigerate cake until frosting is set, about 30 minutes. Remove from refrigerator and cover with remaining frosting. Top with raspberries.
