Ingredients

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
1 cup heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for whipped cream)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Step 3: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 4: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
Step 5: Gently fold in the white chocolate chips and fresh raspberries.
Step 6: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 7: Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 8: While the cakes are cooling, prepare the whipped cream by beating the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl until soft peaks form.
Step 9: Once the cakes are completely cool, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of whipped cream on top, then place the second layer on top.
Step 10: Frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining whipped cream. Garnish with additional raspberries and white chocolate shavings if desired.

Tips & Variations

For a richer flavor, add a tablespoon of raspberry puree between the layers.
Substitute raspberries with strawberries or blueberries for a different fruit flavor.
Use white chocolate shavings or curls to decorate the cake for an elegant touch.
Ensure not to overmix the batter once the dry ingredients are added to keep the cake tender.

Storage

Store the cake covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days to keep the whipped cream fresh. Before serving, you can let it sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes to soften slightly. Reheat is not recommended as it may affect the texture of the whipped cream and raspberries.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use frozen raspberries for this cake?

Yes, you can use frozen raspberries, but be sure to thaw and drain them well before folding into the batter to avoid excess moisture.

How do I prevent the white chocolate chips from sinking to the bottom of the cake?

To prevent sinking, toss the white chocolate chips in a little flour before folding them into the batter. This helps them stay suspended throughout the cake.
