Ingredients

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
1 cup heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for whipped cream)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Step 3: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 4: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
Step 5: Gently fold in the white chocolate chips and fresh raspberries.
Step 6: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 7: Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 8: While the cakes are cooling, prepare the whipped cream by beating the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl until soft peaks form.
Step 9: Once the cakes are completely cool, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of whipped cream on top, then place the second layer on top.
Step 10: Frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining whipped cream. Garnish with additional raspberries and white chocolate shavings if desired.

Tips & Variations

For a richer flavor, try adding a tablespoon of raspberry puree between the layers.
You can substitute raspberries with strawberries or blueberries for a different fruity twist.
To prevent the raspberries from sinking, toss them lightly in flour before folding into the batter.

Storage

Store the cake covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Allow the cake to come to room temperature before serving for the best flavor. Leftover whipped cream can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 1-2 days and whipped again briefly before use.
