Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips 200g
  • 1/2 cup butter 115g
  • 1 cup granulated sugar 200g
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 190g
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup whole milk 120ml
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries 150g

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan.
  2. In a medium saucepan, melt the white chocolate chips and butter over low heat. Stir constantly until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the granulated sugar and eggs. Use a whisk to beat until fluffy. Stir in the melted white chocolate mixture and vanilla extract until well incorporated.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
Baking
  1. Gently fold in the fresh raspberries, taking care not to break them too much.
  2. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cooling and Serving
  1. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.
  2. Once cool, serve as is or decorate with extra melted white chocolate or a raspberry sauce.

Notes

Consider adding a teaspoon of almond extract for a lovely nutty background flavor. Don’t over mix to keep that lovely airy texture. Raspberries can be swapped for strawberries or blueberries. Use high-quality white chocolate for the best flavor. Store covered at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for about a week.
