Raspberry Buttercream

Pairing this icing with Devil’s Food Cake (page 98) is old school, but delicious. It’s what I would serve if I was catering an extravagant dinner party for my grandparents or in-laws, but it’s also not out of place at a twenty-first birthday party. The raspberry icing is equally decadent with the Vanilla Cake (page 115), and it doesn’t feel quite as formal as when served with chocolate. You can deepen the raspberry flavor by adding a thin layer of raspberry jelly or jam between the cake and the icing. Garnish your cake or cupcakes with fresh raspberries for an added burst of flavor.
