Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen raspberries

  • For white chocolate buttercream: 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup melted white chocolate, cooled
  • 2 tbsp heavy cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 8-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat softened butter and white chocolate until smooth and creamy.
  4. Add eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition.
  5. Alternately add flour mixture and buttermilk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Stir in vanilla extract.
  6. Divide batter evenly among prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  7. Let cakes cool in pans 10 minutes, then turn out onto wire racks to cool completely.
  8. For buttercream: Beat the softened butter until fluffy, gradually add powdered sugar, then mix in melted white chocolate, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  9. To assemble, place one cake layer on a plate, spread raspberry jam and fresh raspberries over it, top with a layer of buttercream.
  10. Repeat with second layer, then top with final cake layer. Frost the top and sides with remaining buttercream.
  11. Decorate with fresh raspberries as desired.

Notes

Chill the cake layers before frosting for easier handling. Use fresh raspberries if possible for better flavor. To intensify raspberry flavor, gently warm jam with a few raspberries before spreading.
