Ingredients
Scale
For the Cake:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup milk
- 3/4 cup white chocolate chips, melted
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
For the Frosting:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2–3 tablespoons milk
- Fresh raspberries for decoration
Instructions
- Make the Cake:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
- Stir in the melted white chocolate chips, then gently fold in the fresh raspberries.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
- Make the Frosting:
- In a medium bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Stir in the melted white chocolate chips and vanilla extract. Add milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the frosting reaches your desired consistency (smooth and spreadable).
- Assemble the Cake:
- Once the cake layers are completely cooled, spread a layer of frosting on top of one cake. Place the second cake on top and frost the top and sides of the entire cake.
- Garnish with fresh raspberries for decoration.
- Serve:
- Slice and enjoy the creamy, dreamy combination of white chocolate and raspberries!
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can add a bit of raspberry jam between the cake layers.
- If you prefer a lighter frosting, you can use whipped cream mixed with a little bit of melted white chocolate.
- Be gentle when folding in the raspberries to avoid crushing them.
