Ingredients
Scale
Essential 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
Optional Add-Ons:
- Extra fresh raspberries, for garnish
- White chocolate shavings, for garnish
- Lemon zest or a squeeze of lemon juice (optional, to enhance berry flavor)
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans or line with parchment paper.
- Prepare the batter: In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture.
- Fold in mix-ins: Gently fold in white chocolate chips and raspberries.
- Bake: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake for 25–30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and decorate: Let cakes cool in pans for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks. Once fully cooled, frost or serve as desired. Garnish with optional raspberries and white chocolate shavings.
Notes
- To prevent raspberries from sinking, lightly coat them in a tablespoon of flour before folding into the batter.
- This cake pairs beautifully with cream cheese or white chocolate frosting.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for longer shelf life.
