Ingredients

Scale

Cake 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

Whipped Cream Frosting

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare pans: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans to prevent sticking.
  2. Cream butter and sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy, which ensures a tender cake texture.
  3. Add eggs and vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Then stir in the vanilla extract to infuse the batter with flavor.
  4. Mix dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening and seasoning agents.
  5. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Alternately add the dry mixture and milk to the wet ingredients, starting and ending with the dry mixture. Mix gently until just combined to avoid overworking the batter.
  6. Fold in chocolate chips and raspberries: Carefully fold in the white chocolate chips and fresh raspberries to distribute them evenly without breaking the berries.
  7. Bake the cake: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool cakes: Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before turning them out onto wire racks to cool completely, ensuring easier frosting application.
  9. Prepare whipped cream: While the cakes cool, beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until soft peaks form to create a smooth and fluffy frosting.
  10. Assemble the cake: Place one cooled cake layer on a serving plate and spread a generous layer of whipped cream over it. Top with the second cake layer.
  11. Frost and garnish: Coat the top and sides of the assembled cake with the remaining whipped cream. Garnish with additional fresh raspberries and white chocolate shavings for a decorative finish and extra flavor.

Notes

  • For enhanced raspberry flavor, add a tablespoon of raspberry puree between the cake layers before frosting.
  • Raspberries can be substituted with strawberries or blueberries according to preference or seasonal availability.
  • Ensure berries are fresh and not too ripe to prevent excess moisture affecting the cake texture.
