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 Topping
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pans: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans to prevent the cakes from sticking.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, ensuring a smooth cake texture.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time to the butter-sugar mixture, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in the vanilla extract thoroughly.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agent and salt.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Mix gently until just combined to avoid overmixing which can toughen the cake.
- Fold in White Chocolate and Raspberries: Carefully fold in the white chocolate chips and fresh raspberries to the batter to keep the fruit intact and distribute the chocolate chips evenly.
- Divide and Bake: Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool Cakes: Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely to room temperature before frosting.
- Prepare Whipped Cream: While the cakes cool, beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl until soft peaks form to create a smooth, fluffy whipped cream.
- Assemble the Cake: Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of whipped cream over it, then place the second cake layer on top.
- Frost and Garnish: Use the remaining whipped cream to frost the top and sides of the cake. Optionally, garnish with additional fresh raspberries and white chocolate shavings to enhance presentation.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, try adding a tablespoon of raspberry puree between the cake layers to enhance the fruitiness.
- You can substitute raspberries with strawberries or blueberries for a different fruit flavor depending on your preference.
