Ingredients

For the Cake:

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

  • 1 cup granulated sugar

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1/2 cup whole milk

  • 1/2 cup sour cream

  • 4 ounces white chocolate, chopped (or white chocolate chips)

For the Raspberry Filling:

  • 1 1/2 cups fresh raspberries (or frozen, thawed)

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)

For the White Chocolate Frosting:

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

  • 4 ounces white chocolate, melted

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Prepare the Cake:

    • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans.

    • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

    • Cream butter and sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes). Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each. Mix in vanilla extract.

    • Combine milk and sour cream in a separate bowl. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, alternating with the milk mixture, starting and ending with dry ingredients. Fold in white chocolate.

    • Divide batter evenly between cake pans and smooth tops. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool in pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks.

  • Make the Raspberry Filling:

    • Combine raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until raspberries break down (about 5-7 minutes). For a thicker filling, add cornstarch slurry and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Let cool.

  • Prepare the White Chocolate Frosting:

    • Beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, beating until well combined. Mix in melted white chocolate and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy. Add milk if needed for consistency.

  • Assemble the Cake:

    • Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of raspberry filling over it. Top with second cake layer and frost the entire cake with white chocolate frosting.

    • Garnish with fresh raspberries, white chocolate shavings, or extra raspberry filling.

Notes

  • Add lemon zest to the cake batter for a citrusy boost.

  • For an extra indulgent version, top with ganache or drizzle it over the cake.

  • Swap raspberries for blueberries or strawberries for a twist.
