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

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, ensuring a smooth texture in the cake.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time to the creamed butter and sugar, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract to incorporate flavor.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. This ensures even distribution of leavening agents and seasoning.
  5. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined to avoid overworking the batter, which can toughen the cake.
  6. Fold in White Chocolate and Raspberries: Gently fold in the white chocolate chips and fresh raspberries to evenly distribute them without breaking the fruit.
  7. Divide and Bake: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool Cakes: Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely, which prevents sogginess.
  9. 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, creating a light frosting.
  10. Assemble the Cake: Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of whipped cream over it, then top with the second cake layer.
  11. Frost and Garnish: Frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining whipped cream. Garnish with additional raspberries and white chocolate shavings if desired for an attractive finish.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, add a tablespoon of raspberry puree between the layers.
  • You can substitute raspberries with strawberries if preferred.
