Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Alternately add the dry ingredients and the milk to the wet ingredients, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Gently fold in the white chocolate chips and fresh raspberries.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cakes are cooling, prepare the whipped cream. In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
- Once the cakes are completely cool, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of whipped cream on top, then place the second layer on top.
- Frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining whipped cream. Garnish with additional raspberries and white chocolate shavings if desired.
Notes
Use room temperature eggs and milk for a smoother batter. Toss raspberries and white chocolate chips in a tablespoon of flour to prevent them from sinking. For the whipped cream, use a well-chilled bowl and beaters for a more stable result. Do not overmix the batter once the flour is added. For clean slices, use a long, sharp knife dipped in hot water and wiped clean between each cut.
