Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients & Batter

  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 6 ounces white chocolate, melted

Filling and Frosting

  • 1 1/2 cups fresh raspberries
  • 1/2 cup raspberry jam
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pans: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined to ensure an even rise.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer on medium speed to cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light, fluffy, and pale in color, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to fully incorporate. Then mix in the vanilla extract until combined.
  5. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, stir the whole milk and sour cream together until smooth for an even texture in the batter.
  6. Alternate Adding Dry and Wet Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture in three parts, alternating with the milk and sour cream mixture in two parts, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Beat on low speed just until combined to avoid overmixing.
  7. Incorporate White Chocolate: Fold in the melted white chocolate gently using a spatula until fully blended into the batter.
  8. Divide and Bake: Evenly divide the batter between the prepared pans, smoothing the tops. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Cool Cakes: Let the cakes cool in their pans for 10 minutes before turning them out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Prepare Raspberry Filling: Mash the fresh raspberries in a bowl until broken down, then stir in the raspberry jam until combined perfectly.
  11. Make Whipped Cream: In a large bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract on high speed until stiff peaks form for a stable, fluffy frosting.
  12. Assemble the Cake: Place one cake layer on a serving platter. Spread the raspberry filling evenly over the top, then add a generous layer of whipped cream. Top with the second cake layer, pressing gently to secure.
  13. Frost and Garnish: Spread the remaining whipped cream evenly over the top and sides of the cake. Decorate the top with fresh raspberries arranged decoratively.
  14. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the finished cake for at least 1 hour to allow the layers to set before slicing and serving. Enjoy your creamy, fruity dessert!

Notes

  • For best results, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before beginning.
  • Use high-quality white chocolate to enhance the cake’s flavor and texture.
  • The cake can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, covered to prevent drying out.
  • Fresh raspberries can be substituted with frozen ones, but thaw and drain them well to avoid excess moisture.
  • If desired, add a splash of lemon zest to the batter for a subtle citrus twist.
  • Allow the cake layers to cool completely before assembling to prevent the whipped cream from melting.
