Ingredients

• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 2.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 4 units large eggs
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1 cup white chocolate, finely chopped
• 1 cup raspberry preserves
• 1.5 cups heavy cream
• 10 ounces white chocolate, finely chopped (for ganache)
• 1 cup fresh raspberries
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans. Line the bottoms with parchment paper for easier release.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Reduce the mixer speed to low and alternately add the dry ingredients and milk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.

Step 6

Fold in the finely chopped white chocolate until evenly distributed.

Step 7

Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cakes comes out clean.

Step 9

Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then carefully remove them and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Once the cakes are completely cool, spread the raspberry preserves evenly over the top of one cake layer. Place the second cake layer on top to create a sandwich.

Step 11

To make the ganache, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer (do not boil). Remove from heat and pour over the finely chopped white chocolate in a large bowl. Let sit for 1-2 minutes, then whisk until smooth and glossy.

Step 12

Allow the ganache to cool slightly until it thickens but is still pourable. Pour it over the cake, letting it drip down the sides for a beautiful finish.

Step 13

Decorate the top of the cake with fresh raspberries and dust with powdered sugar if desired.

Step 14

Refrigerate the cake for at least 30 minutes to set the ganache. Slice and serve at room temperature. Enjoy!
