Ingredients
For the cake
- 2 cups all-purpose flour lush, silky, the backbone of our delicate cake.
- 1.5 cups sugar granulated sweetness that enhances our cake’s flavor and texture.
- 2 tsp baking powder the key to a light, airy crumb.
- 0.5 tsp salt a subtle touch to balance the sweet notes.
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, softened creamy richness that makes the cake moist and tender.
- 1 cup whole milk adds structure and flavor, lending to an indulgent bite.
- 3 large eggs binding agents that contribute to our cake's perfect texture.
- 1 tsp vanilla extract aromatic warmth that elevates the flavors.
- 4 oz white chocolate, melted the star of the show, bringing a luxurious sweetness.
- 1 cup fresh raspberries juicy explosions of freshness that brighten each layer.
For the frosting
- 1 cup heavy cream essential for our light, airy frosting.
- 1 tsp vanilla extract enhancing the overall flavor profile.
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar for sweetness and stability in the whipped cream.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt, whisking until well blended.
- Add the softened unsalted butter, whole milk, eggs, and vanilla extract, mixing until the batter is smooth and creamy.
- Fold in the melted white chocolate gently.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Frosting and Assembly
- While the cakes bake, prepare the frosting by whipping the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
- Once cooled, frost the top of one cake layer with the whipped cream and place fresh raspberries on top.
- Top with the second layer and cover the entire cake with the remaining whipped cream.
- Garnish with extra raspberries and a drizzle of melted white chocolate.
Notes
Allow the cakes to cool completely before frosting to avoid a melted appearance. Use quality ingredients for best results.
