Ingredients
Scale
Cake Base:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
Flavor and Texture Enhancers:
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon salt
Fruit Component:
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
Whipped Cream Frosting:
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare your workspace by setting the oven to precisely 350°F and coating two 9-inch round pans with butter and flour.
- Grab your electric mixer and blend ½ cup softened butter with 1 ½ cups sugar until the mixture looks pale and feels airy.
- Crack 3 large eggs into the butter mixture, incorporating each one thoroughly before adding the next. Pour in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and mix gently.
- In a separate bowl, combine 2 cups flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt, whisking until completely integrated.
- Alternate adding the dry ingredients and 1 cup milk into your butter mixture, stirring carefully to maintain a smooth consistency.
- Delicately fold 1 cup white chocolate chips and 1 cup fresh raspberries into the batter, ensuring even distribution without crushing the fruit.
- Evenly distribute the batter between the prepared pans, smoothing the surfaces with a spatula.
- Slide the pans into the 350°F oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, checking doneness by inserting a toothpick near the center.
- Remove cakes and allow them to rest in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack for complete cooling.
Notes
- Fold raspberries gently to prevent color bleeding and maintain beautiful whole fruit pieces throughout the cake.
- Choose fresh, in-season raspberries for the best flavor and minimal moisture that could affect cake texture.
- Room temperature ingredients ensure smoother batter and more even cake rise, so take eggs and butter out 30 minutes before baking.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with a high-quality 1:1 gluten-free baking blend and add an extra tablespoon of milk to maintain moisture.
