How to Make Heavenly White Chocolate and Raspberry Cake

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup melted white chocolate
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries

Directions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set it aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  5. Stir in the melted white chocolate and mix until combined.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients in three batches, alternating with the milk. Start and end with the dry ingredients.
  7. Mix until just combined, then gently fold in the fresh raspberries, being careful not to crush them.
  8. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Once cooled, frost with your favorite icing (cream cheese or whipped cream work wonders) and top with fresh raspberries.

How to Serve Heavenly White Chocolate and Raspberry Cake

Serve this cake at room temperature. It looks beautiful on a cake stand and makes a lovely centerpiece for any gathering. Cut generous slices for the best enjoyment!

How to Store Heavenly White Chocolate and Raspberry Cake

Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also refrigerate it for a longer shelf life, but be sure to bring it back to room temperature before serving for the best flavor.

Tips to Make Heavenly White Chocolate and Raspberry Cake

  • Make sure your butter is soft but not melted; this will help create a light and fluffy texture.
  • Use fresh raspberries for the best flavor, but if you’re in a pinch, frozen raspberries can work too—just be careful not to thaw them before adding.
  • Don’t overmix the batter once you add the raspberries; gentle folding is key!

Variation

Feel free to switch up the white chocolate with dark chocolate for a richer taste. You can also add a hint of lemon zest for a refreshing twist!
