Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Grease and line three 6" cake pans with parchment paper.
Soak cake strips in ice water.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Cut the butter into small cubes and add to the dry ingredients. Mix on low speed until it resembles wet sand.
Add the oil, milk, raspberry purée, and vanilla, mixing until just combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whip the egg whites to medium peaks.
Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the batter with a rubber spatula until fully combined.
Divide the cake batter between the prepared cake pans. Wrap the cake strips around the outside of the pans.
Bake for about 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean and the cakes start to pull away from the sides. Turn the cakes out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Ensure to use fresh raspberries for the best flavor.
Feel free to adjust the amount of food gel according to your color preference.
For a thicker frosting, additional pistachio cream can be added.
