Ingredients

Scale

Cake Batter

  • 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

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, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, which helps create a tender cake texture.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition to fully incorporate. Stir in the vanilla extract for flavor.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agents.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined to avoid overmixing which can make the cake tough.
  6. Fold in Chocolate Chips and Raspberries: Gently fold in the white chocolate chips and fresh raspberries to evenly distribute without crushing the berries.
  7. Divide Batter and Bake: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool Cakes: Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Prepare Whipped Cream Frosting: While the cakes cool, beat the heavy whipping cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form, creating a light and airy frosting.
  10. Assemble Cake: Place one cake layer on a serving plate, spread a layer of whipped cream over it, then top with the second cake layer.
  11. Frost the Cake: Use the remaining whipped cream to frost the top and sides of the cake evenly. Garnish with additional fresh raspberries and white chocolate shavings if desired for an elegant finish.

Notes

  • For a richer raspberry flavor, add a tablespoon of raspberry puree between the cake layers before frosting.
  • Raspberries can be substituted with strawberries or blueberries to vary the fruit flavor according to preference.
