Ingredients

Scale

Cake Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 ½ cups white sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk

Frosting Ingredients

  • 8 ounces white chocolate chips or bar, chopped
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup powdered sugar

Garnish

  • 2 cups fresh raspberries

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cake Batter: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch cake pans. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking powder. In a separate large bowl, cream the unsalted butter and white sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract. Alternately add the dry ingredient mixture and whole milk into the butter mixture, starting and ending with the dry ingredients, until the batter is smooth and consistent.
  2. Bake the Cake Layers: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove the cakes from the oven and allow to cool completely in the pans before removing.
  3. Make the White Chocolate Frosting: Gently melt the white chocolate using a double boiler or microwave in short bursts, stirring until smooth. In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Carefully fold the melted white chocolate into the whipped cream, maintaining a light and airy texture.
  4. Assemble the Cake: Place one cooled cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a generous layer of white chocolate frosting over the top, then evenly scatter fresh raspberries on the frosting. Place the second cake layer atop and repeat the frosting and raspberry layers. Cover the entire cake with a smooth, even layer of frosting on the top and sides.
  5. Garnish and Chill: Decorate the top with whole raspberries and white chocolate shavings for an elegant finish. Chill the assembled cake in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to meld and frosting to set.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients to ensure a smooth batter and better cake texture.
  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid a tough crumb.
  • Melt white chocolate gently to prevent burning.
  • Add fresh raspberries just before serving for optimal freshness.
  • Chill the cake before slicing to achieve clean, neat slices.
