(Yes, I'm a child of the 1980s). And I absolutely loved her role as Norma Dellacorte in 2024's Palm Royale<\/em>. She is perhaps most well-known for The<\/em> Carol Burnett Show<\/em>, a popular variety show that aired during the 1960s and '70s. With a stage, television and film career that has spanned over 60 years, she is truly an American icon.\r\n\r\nWhile she may be more known for her comedic timing than cooking, two of her recipes have made it into celebrity cookbooks: a meat loaf recipe<\/a> and this \"raspberry riches\" cake. In an introduction to Celebrity Cookbook<\/em><\/a>, author Sandra Battelstein explains that she wrote to celebrities asking them for recipes. Carol Burnett's submission was a recipe for raspberry riches cake.\r\n

What is a raspberry riches cake?<\/h2>\r\nRaspberry riches cake is Burnett's version of a raspberry buttermilk cake. While most recipes for this type of cake only add a simple topping of granulated sugar before baking, her twist adds finely grated chocolate to the sugar, resulting in little puddles of chocolate that add a rich contrast to the sweet and tart raspberries.\r\n
