Essential Ingredients

- All-Purpose Flour: Use high-quality flour for better structure; consider sifting for extra fluffiness when measuring.

- Baking Powder: Ensure it’s fresh for that perfect rise; check expiration dates if you’ve had it lying around.
- Salt: Just a pinch enhances all other flavors; don’t skip it!
- Unsalted Butter: Softened to room temperature helps achieve a creamy batter; go for the real deal over margarine.
- Eggs: Large eggs work best here; they add moisture and richness.
- Vanilla Extract: Opt for pure vanilla for more robust flavor; it’s worth the splurge!
- White Chocolate Chips: Choose quality chips for richer flavor; melt some into the batter and save some to sprinkle on top.
- Fresh Raspberries: Use ripe berries; they provide a beautiful contrast and burst of flavor throughout the cake.
- Whipped Cream (for serving): Optional but highly recommended; adds a light finish to each slice!

Let’s Make it Together
Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare two 9-inch round baking pans by greasing them lightly with butter and dusting with flour.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Make sure no lumps remain so your batter is smooth.
Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat softened butter and sugar until fluffy—about 4-5 minutes. That’s when you know it’s ready when it’s light in color!
Add Eggs and Vanilla: Crack those eggs into the mixing bowl one at a time while continuing to beat. Add in vanilla extract after all eggs are incorporated.
Melt and Mix in White Chocolate: Gently melt half of your white chocolate chips in the microwave or using a double boiler until smooth. Fold melted chocolate into your batter.
Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually mix dry ingredients into your batter until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; we want that airy texture!
Add Fresh Raspberries: Gently fold in fresh raspberries with remaining white chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Bake Your Cake: Divide batter evenly between prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center.
Enjoy each moment as you create this masterpiece! Once cooled completely on wire racks, frost as desired or keep it simple with whipped cream.
Now you have an incredible white chocolate raspberry cake that will impress everyone at your next gathering! Enjoy!
