Ingredients
-
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
-
2 tsp baking powder
-
1/2 tsp baking soda
-
1/2 tsp salt
-
3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
-
1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
-
4 large eggs
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
1 cup buttermilk
-
1/2 cup sour cream
-
1/2 cup white chocolate chips (melted)
-
1 1/2 cups raspberries (fresh or frozen)
-
White chocolate shavings and fresh raspberries for garnish
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 9-inch round cake pans with parchment paper.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
-
In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
-
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
-
Mix in the buttermilk, sour cream, and melted white chocolate until smooth.
-
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
-
Gently fold in the raspberries with a spatula.
-
Divide the batter evenly into the prepared pans.
-
Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
-
Let cakes cool in pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
-
Frost, layer, and garnish with white chocolate shavings and fresh raspberries before serving.
Notes
-
Use frozen raspberries straight from the freezer to prevent extra liquid in the batter.
-
For an evenly risen cake, avoid overmixing the batter.
-
A simple cream cheese or whipped white chocolate frosting pairs perfectly.
