Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups fresh raspberries
- 8 ounces (226 grams) high-quality white chocolate, chopped
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Other Ingredients:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Gather and organize all necessary baking equipment, including three 9-inch cake pans, electric mixer, and wire cooling racks.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and meticulously grease and flour the cake pans to ensure smooth cake release.
- Create a uniform dry ingredient mixture by whisking flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl until completely integrated.
- Incorporate softened butter, eggs, and vanilla extract into the dry ingredients, mixing with an electric mixer until the batter transforms into a silky, homogeneous consistency.
- Carefully distribute the cake batter evenly across the three prepared pans, ensuring uniform thickness for consistent baking.
- Bake the cake layers for 25-30 minutes, checking doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center – it should emerge clean and dry.
- Allow cakes to rest in their pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks for complete cooling, preventing potential moisture condensation.
- Prepare the white chocolate cream by gently melting the chocolate, then allowing it to cool to a lukewarm temperature.
- Whip heavy cream until soft peaks form, then delicately fold in the melted white chocolate, creating a smooth and luxurious filling.
- Assemble the cake by layering each cake round with white chocolate cream and scattered raspberries, building a visually appealing and flavorful stack.
- Apply the remaining white chocolate cream as a final frosting, smoothing the exterior for a polished presentation.
- Embellish the cake’s surface with fresh raspberries, creating an elegant and appetizing finishing touch.
- Refrigerate briefly to set the frosting, then serve and enjoy this decadent white chocolate raspberry dessert.
Notes
- Perfectly grease cake pans using butter and flour to ensure smooth cake release without sticking.
- Ensure butter and eggs are at room temperature for smoother cake batter and more consistent texture.
- Avoid overmixing the batter to prevent tough, dense cake layers by mixing just until ingredients are combined.
- Gently fold white chocolate into whipped cream to maintain the light, airy texture of the filling.
