Ingredients
Scale
For the cake:
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 1/2 cups fresh raspberries (or frozen, not thawed)
For the buttercream:
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven and prepare pans: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare three 8-inch round cake pans by greasing and flouring them or lining with parchment paper.
- Prepare the cake batter: Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, beat butter and sugar, then add eggs one at a time. Mix in vanilla, sour cream, dry ingredients, milk, and melted white chocolate. Fold in raspberries.
- Bake the cakes: Divide the batter among pans and bake for 25–30 minutes. Let cool before frosting.
- Make the buttercream: Melt white chocolate, beat butter, add powdered sugar, white chocolate, cream, vanilla, and salt. Beat until fluffy.
- Assemble the cake: Frost the cooled cakes with buttercream, stacking and frosting between layers. Decorate as desired.
Notes
- Frozen raspberries can be used but do not thaw to prevent bleeding into the batter.
- For extra raspberry flavor, add a thin layer of raspberry jam between the cake layers.
- Chill the cake before slicing for cleaner cuts.
