Ingredients
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
½ cup milk
4 oz white chocolate bar, chopped
1 ¼ cups fresh or frozen raspberries
¾ cup heavy cream
2 ½ cups powdered sugar
Instructions
1. Grease and line two 8-inch cake pans with parchment. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Set aside.
3. In a separate bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 to 4 minutes.
4. Add eggs one at a time, then vanilla extract, mixing well.
5. Add dry ingredients in three parts, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
6. Gently fold in raspberries without overmixing.
7. Divide batter between pans and bake for 25–30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
8. Cool cakes in pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
9. Melt white chocolate and let cool slightly. In a bowl, beat butter until creamy, then mix in white chocolate, heavy cream, and powdered sugar until fluffy.
10. Assemble cake by frosting between layers and around the entire cake. Garnish with raspberries or white chocolate shavings if desired.
Notes
Use high-quality white chocolate bars, not chips, for smooth melting.
Cake can be made a day ahead; flavor improves overnight.
For an extra punch, add a layer of raspberry jam between the layers.
