  • Total Time: 45-50 minutes (including cooling)
  • Yield: 8-10 slices

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:

  1. Preheat the Oven:

    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.

  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients:

    • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

  3. Cream the Butter and Sugar:

    • In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).

  4. Add the Eggs and Vanilla:

    • Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.

  5. 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.

  6. Add the White Chocolate:

    • Fold in the melted white chocolate until evenly distributed.

  7. 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.

  8. 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:

  1. Prepare the Raspberries:

    • Gently press the raspberries into the top of the cooled cake, arranging them evenly.

Drizzle with White Chocolate:

  1. Melt the White Chocolate:

    • In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the remaining white chocolate in 20-second intervals, stirring between each.

  2. 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:

  1. Slice and Serve:

    • Allow the drizzle to set, then slice and serve! For an added touch, serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

Notes

Raspberry Compote: Enhance the flavor by adding a raspberry compote drizzle on top.

More Berries: Add strawberries, blueberries, or blackberries for a mixed berry version.

Gluten-Free: Swap with a gluten-free flour blend for a gluten-free option.
