Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ***
  • 1 (12 ounce) package frozen raspberries, thawed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • ***
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 6 ounces white chocolate, melted and cooled
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9 inch round cake pans.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the softened butter and milk. Mix until just combined. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  3. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake for 25 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  4. In a saucepan, combine the thawed raspberries, sugar, and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a simmer. Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice. Let cool completely.
  5. Beat the softened butter in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating on low speed until combined. Pour in the melted and cooled white chocolate, heavy cream, and vanilla extract. Beat on medium high speed until light and fluffy. Be sure the white chocolate is completely cool so it does not melt the buttercream.
  6. Once the cakes have cooled, level the tops with a serrated knife if needed. Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a generous layer of white chocolate buttercream over the top. Spread the raspberry filling evenly over the buttercream. Top with the second cake layer.
  7. Frost the entire cake with the remaining white chocolate buttercream. You can create swirls, smooth it out, or get creative with your frosting design.
  8. Garnish with fresh raspberries, white chocolate shavings, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
