Ingredients
Scale
- 2½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1¾ cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1½ tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup white chocolate chips, melted
- 1¼ cups whole milk
- 1½ cups fresh or frozen raspberries
- ½ cup sugar
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened (for frosting)
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 2–3 tbsp milk (for frosting)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare three 8-inch round cake pans by greasing and flouring them.
- Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl; set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract and melted white chocolate.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients alternately with whole milk, mixing until just combined.
- Divide the batter among the prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in pans for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
- For the raspberry filling, cook raspberries with sugar and lemon juice over medium heat until soft; thicken with cornstarch mixed with water, then cool completely.
- For frosting, beat softened butter until creamy; gradually add powdered sugar and melted white chocolate until smooth. Adjust consistency with milk if needed.
- Level cake layers if necessary, then assemble with frosting and raspberry filling between layers. Frost the top and sides as desired.
