Relative newbie here. I've been baking since I was a kid but I generally full cakes with the same frosting I use on the outside.

I'm making my daughter's cake this week. It will be (beyond buttercream) yellow cake with (SMBC) chocolate buttercream frosting and a raspberry filling.

I have a jar of really good raspberry jam to start with but I'm wondering how/if I should doctor it.

Plan A is to just put it in the mixer to loosen it up but I'm wondering if I should add anything to it? Or beat it into vanilla buttercream?

I'm sure either would be fine but I'd still love opinions.

Duplicate thread! Please reply on the other one.
