Description
A moist and elegant White Chocolate Raspberry Cake that combines rich white chocolate with bright raspberry flavor, perfect for birthdays, weddings, or any special occasion.
Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup whole milk
- 6 oz white chocolate, melted and slightly cooled
- ½ cup raspberry preserves or 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line three 8-inch round cake pans with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients alternately with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry mixture. Mix just until combined.
- Fold in the melted white chocolate until smooth. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared pans.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool completely on a wire rack.
- Prepare the frosting by whipping heavy cream and powdered sugar until thick and smooth.
- To assemble, place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread with raspberry preserves, then top with a layer of white chocolate buttercream. Repeat with the remaining layers.
- Frost the entire cake with the remaining buttercream and garnish with fresh raspberries or shaved white chocolate if desired.
Notes
- Add a splash of almond extract to the batter for a nutty undertone.
- Swap raspberry preserves for strawberry or blackberry.
- Use cream cheese frosting for a tangy finish.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- Freeze slices for up to 2 months; thaw overnight in the refrigerator.
