Ingredients
Scale
Cake:
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 4 ounces white chocolate, melted and cooled
- 1 1/2 cups fresh raspberries
- 1 tablespoon flour (for tossing raspberries)
Frosting:
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 6 ounces white chocolate, melted and cooled
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Garnish:
- Fresh raspberries
- White chocolate shavings
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour three 8-inch round cake pans and line with parchment paper.
- Prepare Cake Batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla and almond extracts. Mix in sour cream and milk, alternating with dry ingredients, until just combined. Fold in melted white chocolate. Gently toss raspberries with a tablespoon of flour, then fold into the batter.
- Bake: Divide batter among prepared pans and bake for 22 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool cakes in pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
- Make Frosting: Beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add powdered sugar, melted white chocolate, heavy cream, and vanilla, and beat until fluffy.
- Assemble: Frost cooled cakes, stacking layers evenly. Garnish with fresh raspberries and white chocolate shavings. Chill for 30 minutes before slicing.
Notes
- Tossing raspberries in flour prevents them from sinking.
- For a stronger raspberry flavor, add a thin layer of raspberry jam between cake layers before frosting.
