With its stunning layers and vibrant colors, it’s an elegant showstopper that will make your dessert table shine.

So, let’s roll up our sleeves and get baking! Here’s everything you need to create your very own White Chocolate Raspberry Dream Cake.

Ingredients

For the Cake:

• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup milk
• 3 ½ teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 3 large eggs

For the White Chocolate Ganache:

• 8 oz white chocolate, chopped
• ½ cup heavy whipping cream

For the Raspberry Filling:

• 1 cup fresh raspberries
• 2 tablespoons sugar

For Decoration:

• Additional raspberries
• Shaved white chocolate (optional)

Directions

1. Preheat your oven: Set it to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans. You want to make sure your cakes slide right out with ease!

2. Make the cake batter: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Then add the vanilla extract—trust me, you’ll want that sweet aroma to fill your kitchen!

3. Combine the dry ingredients: In another bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk until everything is well combined.

4. Bake your cakes: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let them cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

5. Prepare the raspberry filling: In a small saucepan, combine raspberries and sugar over medium heat. Stir gently for about 5-7 minutes until the raspberries break down into a chunky sauce. Let cool.

6. Make the white chocolate ganache: Place the white chocolate in a heat-safe bowl. In a saucepan, heat the cream until it’s just about to boil. Pour it over the white chocolate and let it sit for a few minutes. Stir until smooth and combined.

7. Assemble your cake: Once the cakes are fully cooled, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of the raspberry filling over the top, then drizzle with some white chocolate ganache. Place the second layer on top, repeat with more raspberry filling and ganache, then cover the entire cake with remaining ganache. Use additional raspberries and white chocolate shavings to decorate the top.

8. Serve and enjoy: Slice, serve, and watch the smiles appear as your loved ones dig in. I can’t promise there won’t be any cake fights!

Cooking Tips

• Baker’s Secret: If you want to elevate the cake even more, consider adding a splash of raspberry liqueur to your filling for a delightful zing. Just don’t tell the kiddos!

• Storage Hints: Keep any leftover cake (if there is any!) in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. The flavors just get better!

• Cake Combos: If you want to add a little flair, try swapping out some of the raspberries for strawberries or blueberries. They all pair beautifully with white chocolate!
