Ingredients
  

For the Cake
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour Provides structure; no substitutions necessary.
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder Helps the cake rise; ensure freshness for best results.
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt Enhances flavor; use kosher or sea salt.
  • 0.75 cups unsalted butter Adds richness and moisture; can use margarine if needed.
  • 1.75 cups granulated sugar Sweetens the cake; coconut sugar can be a lower-glycemic substitute.
  • 4 large eggs Binds ingredients and adds moisture; use room temperature for best mixing.
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract Adds depth of flavor; can substitute with almond extract for a twist.
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips Contributes creaminess and sweetness; opt for high-quality baking chocolate.

  • 0.5 cup sugar Sweetens raspberry mixture; adjust based on berry sweetness.
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice Enhances raspberry flavor; replace with lime juice if desired.
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch Thickens the filling; tapioca starch can be used as an alternative.

  • 3 cups powdered sugar Sweetens and thickens frosting; can substitute with natural sweeteners if needed.

Method
 

Cake Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare three 8-inch round cake pans by greasing them and placing parchment paper at the bottom for easy removal.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and ½ teaspoon of salt until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat ¾ cup of softened unsalted butter and 1 ¾ cups of granulated sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Add 4 large eggs, 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract, and 1 cup of melted white chocolate chips to the creamed mixture. Mix well on low speed until fully incorporated.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture to your wet ingredients, alternating with 1 cup of whole milk. Start and end with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the three prepared cake pans. Bake for about 28-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean.
  7. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine 2 cups of fresh or frozen raspberries, ½ cup of sugar, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons of cornstarch. Stir constantly until the mixture thickens and bubbles, about 5-7 minutes.
  8. After baking, allow the cakes to cool in their pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. In a large bowl, beat ½ cup of softened unsalted butter until creamy. Gradually add 3 cups of powdered sugar while mixing, then incorporate ½ cup of cooled melted white chocolate and a splash of milk until the frosting reaches your desired consistency.
  10. Once the cakes and raspberry filling are fully cool, place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of raspberry filling followed by a layer of frosting. Repeat with the second layer and top with the final cake layer.
  11. To finish, garnish your cake with fresh raspberries and white chocolate curls for an elegant touch.

Notes

Allow both the cake layers and raspberry filling to cool completely before assembly. Chilling the assembled cake for at least 30 minutes before slicing helps achieve clean cuts.
