How to Make White Chocolate Raspberry Cake

Ingredients:

  • 200 g soft butter
  • 200 g sugar
  • 200 g flour with baking powder
  • 4 medium eggs
  • 200 g fresh or frozen raspberries
  • 150 g white chocolate (chopped or chips)
  • 125 g soft butter (for frosting)
  • 250 g powdered sugar
  • 125 g melted white chocolate (for frosting)
  • Fresh or freeze-dried raspberries for decoration
  • White chocolate shavings or chips for decoration

Directions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F) with a fan and line a loaf tin with baking paper.
  2. In a bowl, cream together the soft butter and sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs one by one, mixing thoroughly after each addition.
  4. Sift in the flour and stir everything together until you have a smooth batter.
  5. Gently fold in the raspberries and white chocolate. (You can dust the raspberries with a bit of flour to prevent them from sinking.)
  6. Fill the tin with the batter (up to 2/3 full) and bake for 55–65 minutes, remembering to do the toothpick test.
  7. Let the cake cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

For the Frosting:

  1. In a bowl, mix the soft butter and powdered sugar until smooth.
  2. Add the melted white chocolate and mix well until fully combined.

How to Serve White Chocolate Raspberry Cake

Once your cake has cooled completely and is frosted, it can be served immediately. Slice it into generous pieces and enjoy with a cup of tea or coffee. You can also decorate with fresh or freeze-dried raspberries and white chocolate shavings for an extra touch.

How to Store White Chocolate Raspberry Cake

If you have leftovers, store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can refrigerate it for up to a week. Make sure to bring it back to room temperature before serving for the best flavor and texture.

Tips to Make White Chocolate Raspberry Cake

  • Make sure your butter is soft enough to cream well with the sugar.
  • If using frozen raspberries, do not thaw them before adding to the batter; this will help keep the cake from becoming too wet.
  • For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of vanilla extract to the batter.

Variation

You can substitute the raspberries with other berries, like blueberries or strawberries, if you want to try a different flavor. Additionally, you might consider adding a citrus zest for an extra zing!

FAQs

  1. Can I use other types of chocolate instead of white chocolate? Yes, you could use milk or dark chocolate, but it will change the flavor profile of the cake.
  2. Can I freeze the cake? Yes, you can freeze the cake before frosting. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil. It can be frozen for up to 3 months.
  3. What can I use instead of eggs? If you want to make this cake egg-free, you can use substitutes such as applesauce, mashed bananas, or commercial egg replacers.
