A delightful and elegant dessert featuring tender vanilla cake studded with white chocolate chips and fresh raspberries, finished with a light whipped cream frosting. Perfect for holidays, birthdays, or anytime you want a show-stopping treat.
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
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
In a large bowl, cream together softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla.
In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients alternating with the milk, mixing just until combined—do not overmix.
Gently fold in the white chocolate chips and fresh raspberries.
Divide the batter evenly into the pans.
Bake 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool in pans for 10 minutes, then move to a wire rack to cool completely.
Beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Do not overbeat — you want a smooth, airy texture.
Place the first cake layer on a serving plate and spread with whipped cream.
Add the second cake layer on top.
Frost the top and sides with the remaining whipped cream.
Garnish with fresh raspberries, white chocolate shavings, or both.
For extra raspberry flavor, spread a thin layer of raspberry jam between the layers before adding whipped cream.
Frozen raspberries may be used (do not thaw before folding into the batter).
Keep the cake refrigerated due to the whipped cream frosting.
For a sturdier frosting, stabilize the whipped cream with 1 tablespoon of instant pudding mix or 1 teaspoon of gelatin.
