Ingredients

Scale

Cake

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup milk
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries

Whipped Cream Frosting

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Garnishes

  • Additional fresh raspberries
  • White chocolate shavings

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pans: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans to ensure the cakes do not stick.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, which adds air to the batter for a tender cake.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition to fully incorporate. Stir in the vanilla extract for flavor.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt to distribute the leavening and seasoning evenly.
  5. Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Mix gently until just combined to avoid overworking the batter.
  6. Fold in Chocolate and Raspberries: Carefully fold in the white chocolate chips and fresh raspberries to distribute them without breaking the fruit.
  7. Divide and Bake: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool the Cakes: Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely, ensuring the cake sets properly.
  9. Prepare Whipped Cream: While the cakes cool, beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form, creating a light and airy frosting.
  10. Assemble the Cake: Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a generous layer of whipped cream on top. Place the second cake layer over it.
  11. Frost and Garnish: Frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining whipped cream. Garnish with additional fresh raspberries and white chocolate shavings if desired for an elegant finish.

Notes

  • For a richer raspberry flavor, add a tablespoon of raspberry puree between the cake layers.
  • You can substitute the fresh raspberries with strawberries or blueberries for a different fruit variation.
  • Ensure the cakes are completely cooled before frosting to prevent the whipped cream from melting.
  • Use room temperature ingredients for smoother batter and better cake texture.
