We guess you could make a case that all dessert is a dream, but this layered cake really is quite well named. With a soft layer of vanilla cake, a cool and creamy filling, and a sweet jello topping dotted with fresh raspberries, we think it’s pretty much a dream come true.

We love that it has so many different textures, yet manages to remain airy and light, and that it’s sweet without hitting you over the head with sugar. It’s a cake that feels dainty and delicate, but it still packs in a lot of flavor.

We went ahead and used a box mix for the cake base here, but you can bake one from scratch or even use a store bought cake if you’d like. (Sponge cake would work great!) You just want to make sure that whatever container or pan you’re using will leave enough room for both the cream cheese layer and the jello layer in the end. You will probably have some batter leftover, but only fill the pan about a third of the way before you bake. The cake will definitely rise in the oven, and you don’t want a situation where jello spills all over your fridge. That would not be dreamy.
