Ingredients
  

For the Cake
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1.5 cups sugar granulated sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips (melted)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Raspberry Filling
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • 0.5 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
For the Ganache Frosting
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 0.5 cup heavy cream
  • Fresh raspberries for garnish Optional

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
Mix the Batter
  1. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  2. Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  3. Stir in the melted white chocolate and vanilla extract.
  4. In another bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk.
Bake
  1. Pour the batter evenly into your prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Raspberry Filling
  1. In a small saucepan, combine the raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until the raspberries break down and the mixture becomes syrupy, about 5-7 minutes. Allow it to cool completely.
Ganache Frosting
  1. Heat the heavy cream in a saucepan until just boiling, then pour it over the white chocolate chips in a bowl. Let it sit for a minute, and then stir until smooth.
Assemble Your Cake
  1. Once your cakes are completely cooled, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread the raspberry filling evenly over the top. Add the second layer on top and spread the ganache generously over the entire cake.
Decorate
  1. Top with fresh raspberries for that extra flair.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. You can use frozen raspberries or even strawberry preserves for a different twist.
