Ingredients
  

For the Cake

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 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
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh raspberries
  • 1/2 cup raspberry jam

For the Whipped Cream

  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until combined.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the whole milk and sour cream until smooth.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk mixture (starting and ending with dry ingredients).
  • Beat on low speed until just combined. Fold in the melted white chocolate gently.

Baking & Cooling

  • Divide the batter evenly between the pans and smooth the tops.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Cool the cakes in pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.

Filling & Frosting

  • While the cakes cool, mash the fresh raspberries and mix with raspberry jam until smooth.
  • For the whipped cream, beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla in a bowl on high speed until stiff peaks form.
  • Once cooled, place one cake layer on a platter and spread with raspberry filling followed by whipped cream.
  • Add the second layer, press gently, and frost with the remaining whipped cream.
  • Garnish with fresh raspberries and chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour before serving.

Notes

Use room temperature ingredients for a fluffier texture. Don’t overmix to avoid a dense cake. Can add extra raspberries into the batter for added tartness.
