This cake is everything. It’s soft and moist with beautiful flavour, and a pretty pop of colour thanks to the creamy raspberry buttercream.
If you’re looking for an easy layer cake that’s sure to impress – look no further!
Today, I’ve teamed up with Almond Breeze to bring you my new favourite cake. One that I just know you’re going to love.
I’ve wanted to share a recipe for a white chocolate cake for a long time. But it’s taken quite a while for me to find the perfect white chocolate cake that will rival any chocolate cake. But it’s finally here and I’m over-the-moon with the result.
INGREDIENTS
White chocolate raspberry cake
- 230 grams (1 cup / 2 sticks) unsalted butter, chopped
- 300 grams (2 cups) white chocolate
- 200 grams (1 cup) caster sugar
- 240 ml (1 cup) Original Almond Breeze Milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 350 grams (2 and 1/2 cups) plain flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 100 grams (1 cup) frozen raspberries
- Raspberry buttercream
- 230 grams (1 cup / 2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 435 grams (3 and 1/2 cups) icing or powdered sugar, sifted
- 1/2 cup good-quality raspberry jam*
- Fresh raspberries, to decorate
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat oven to 180C (360F). Grease and link two 8-inch round cake tins with baking or parchment paper.
- In a medium saucepan, add butter, white chocolate, sugar and almond milk. Place on medium heat, stirring until smooth and sugar has dissolved. Set aside for a few minutes to cool slightly.
- Add eggs and vanilla to cooled white chocolate mixture and stir until combined. Add flour and baking powder and stir until combined – don’t worry if the batter is a little lumpy. Gently fold through the raspberries.
- Divide the cake batter between the two cake tins and place in the oven for approximately 30-35 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- To make the raspberry buttercream, add butter to a large mixing bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and beat again. Add 1/3 icing sugar and 1 tablespoon of milk and beat until smooth and creamy. Add 1/3 icing sugar and 1 tablespoon of milk and beat again. Finally, add the remaining 1/3 icing sugar and beat until smooth. Add raspberry jam and beat until smooth and creamy.
- Place one cake layer onto a cake board or stand. Cover the top with raspberry buttercream. Place second cake layer on top (upside down for a nice flat top). Frost the top and sides of cake. Top with fresh raspberries.
NOTES
For a smooth frosting as pictured, put your raspberry jam through a sieve to get rid of the seeds before adding into your buttercream.
