Ingredients
For the Crust:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup milk
1 cup fresh raspberries
1 cup white chocolate, melted (for drizzle and cake)
Instructions
Prepare the Cake:
-
Preheat the Oven:
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
-
-
Mix the Dry Ingredients:
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
-
-
Cream the Butter and Sugar:
-
In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).
-
-
Add the Eggs and Vanilla:
-
Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
-
-
Incorporate the Dry Ingredients and Milk:
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Start and finish with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
-
-
Add the White Chocolate:
-
Fold in the melted white chocolate until evenly distributed.
-
-
Bake the Cake:
-
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean with a few moist crumbs. If it browns too quickly, cover with foil during the last few minutes.
-
-
Cool the Cake:
-
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Add the Raspberries:
-
Prepare the Raspberries:
-
Gently press the raspberries into the top of the cooled cake, arranging them evenly.
-
Drizzle with White Chocolate:
-
Melt the White Chocolate:
-
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the remaining white chocolate in 20-second intervals, stirring between each.
-
-
Drizzle Over the Cake:
-
Drizzle the melted white chocolate generously over the cake, allowing it to drip down the sides for a beautiful effect.
-
Serve:
-
Slice and Serve:
-
Allow the drizzle to set, then slice and serve! For an added touch, serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
