Ingredients

Scale

For the cake:

  • 2½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1¾ cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1½ tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup white chocolate chips, melted
  • 1¼ cups whole milk

For the raspberry filling:

  • 1½ cups fresh or frozen raspberries
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water

For the frosting:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • ½ cup white chocolate, melted and cooled
  • 2–3 tbsp milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Optional garnish:

  • Fresh raspberries
  • White chocolate curls or shavings
  • Mint leaves

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pans: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour three 8-inch round cake pans to ensure the cakes release easily.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set this mixture aside for later incorporation.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: Using a large bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy, which creates a tender crumb.
  4. Add Eggs and Flavorings: Add the eggs one at a time to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and the melted white chocolate chips until fully combined.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Alternately add the flour mixture and whole milk to the wet ingredients, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Mix gently until just combined to avoid overworking the batter.
  6. Divide Batter and Bake: Evenly divide the batter among the three prepared cake pans. Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean.
  7. Cool Cakes: Allow cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely. Cooling is essential for proper frosting adhesion.
  8. Prepare Raspberry Filling: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook until the raspberries break down. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and continue cooking until thickened. Remove from heat and let the filling cool completely.
  9. Make Frosting: Beat softened butter until creamy. Gradually incorporate powdered sugar. Add melted and cooled white chocolate, vanilla extract, and milk, adjusting the milk amount until you achieve a smooth, spreadable consistency.
  10. Assemble the Cake: Level the cooled cake layers if needed. Place the first layer on a cake board. Spread a thin layer of frosting followed by a generous layer of raspberry filling. Repeat with remaining layers.
  11. Frost the Cake: Apply the remaining frosting to the outside and top of the cake, smoothing it evenly. Chill the cake briefly to set the frosting.
  12. Garnish and Serve: Decorate the cake with fresh raspberries, white chocolate curls or shavings, and mint leaves for a beautiful presentation. Serve and enjoy your White Chocolate Raspberry Dream Cake!

Notes

  • Use fresh raspberries for the best flavor, but frozen raspberries work well if thawed and drained.
  • Make sure the white chocolate is fully melted and slightly cooled before adding to the frosting to prevent curdling.
  • Chilling the cake before serving improves slicing and presentation.
  • To ensure even cake layers, weigh the batter in each pan.
  • Store the cake in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, and bring to room temperature before serving.
