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

Optional Garnish

  • Additional fresh raspberries
  • White chocolate shavings

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 light and fluffy, creating a smooth base for the cake batter.
  3. Add eggs and vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract to enhance flavor.
  4. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt for even distribution.
  5. Mix batter: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture alternating with the milk, mixing gently until just combined to avoid overmixing.
  6. Fold in mix-ins: Gently fold in the white chocolate chips and fresh raspberries carefully to distribute throughout the batter without crushing the fruit.
  7. Bake: Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool cakes: Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer onto wire racks to cool completely to room temperature before frosting.
  9. Prepare whipped cream: In a chilled mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form, creating a light and fluffy frosting.
  10. Assemble the cake: Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a generous layer of whipped cream over it. Carefully place the second cake layer on top.
  11. Frost and garnish: Frost the top and sides of the assembled cake with the remaining whipped cream. Garnish with additional fresh raspberries and white chocolate shavings if desired.

Notes

  • For a richer raspberry flavor, try adding a tablespoon of raspberry puree between the cake layers.
  • You can substitute raspberries with strawberries or blueberries to introduce a different fruit flavor.
