Ingredients
Scale
Cake Ingredients:
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Raspberry Filling Ingredients:
- 1.5 cups fresh raspberries
- 0.25 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
Frosting Ingredients:
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 1.5 cups white chocolate chips, melted
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Calibrate the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and prepare two 9-inch cake pans with grease and parchment paper lining.
- Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium mixing bowl, ensuring smooth and even texture.
- Cream butter and sugar in a separate large bowl until the mixture becomes airy and pale, incorporating eggs individually and blending in vanilla extract thoroughly.
- Gradually fold dry ingredients and milk into the butter mixture, alternating portions to create a smooth, consistent cake batter without overmixing.
- Distribute batter evenly between prepared cake pans and bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow cakes to cool completely on a wire rack.
- Create raspberry filling by combining raspberries, sugar, cornstarch, and water in a saucepan. Simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and reaches a jam-like consistency. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.
- Whip butter until creamy, then incorporate melted white chocolate. Gradually introduce powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla, beating until the frosting becomes silky and spreadable.
- Carefully place one cake layer on a serving plate, spread raspberry filling evenly across the surface, then position the second cake layer on top.
- Generously coat the entire cake with white chocolate frosting, using smooth, even strokes.
- Decorate the cake’s exterior with fresh raspberries and delicate white chocolate shavings for an elegant finishing touch.
Notes
- Choose fresh, high-quality raspberries for the most vibrant flavor and natural sweetness in the filling.
- Ensure butter and eggs are at room temperature to create a smoother, more even cake batter that rises perfectly.
- Sift dry ingredients to eliminate lumps and create a lighter, more delicate cake texture that melts in your mouth.
- For a gluten-free version, replace all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend to accommodate dietary restrictions.
