Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups (300 g) granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup (170 g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk
- 1 cup (175 g) white chocolate chips, melted
- 2 cups (240 g) cake flour
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 g) salt
- 1 cup (150 g) fresh raspberries
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 350°F and thoroughly coat two circular cake molds with cooking spray or butter.
- Combine cake flour, leavening agent, and seasoning in a mixing vessel, ensuring even distribution of dry components.
- Utilize an electric mixer to whip butter and sugar until the mixture becomes airy and pale, approximately 3 minutes.
- Incorporate eggs individually, blending thoroughly after each addition to maintain smooth consistency.
- Gradually stream milk into the creamed mixture while continuing to mix at low speed.
- Sift dry ingredients into the wet mixture, folding gently to prevent over-mixing.
- Melt white chocolate and delicately incorporate into the batter, maintaining a uniform texture.
- Softly introduce whole raspberries, using a gentle folding technique to prevent fruit from breaking.
- Distribute batter evenly between prepared pans, ensuring balanced filling.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until the surface turns golden and a toothpick inserted emerges clean.
- Remove from oven and allow cakes to cool completely on a wire rack before applying frosting.
Notes
- Opt for room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth mixing and consistent cake texture.
- Avoid overmixing the batter, which can lead to a tough, dense cake; stop mixing once ingredients are just combined.
- Gently coat raspberries in a light dusting of flour before folding into the batter to prevent sinking during baking.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute cake flour with a gluten-free blend and add xanthan gum for better structure.
