Description
A delightful blend of white chocolate, almonds, and fresh raspberries, creating a moist and fluffy cake perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup white chocolate, melted and cooled
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon almond extract
- ½ cup ground almonds (almond flour)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup fresh raspberries (plus extra for decoration)
- Powdered sugar for dusting
- Optional: Almond slivers for decoration
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare two 9-inch cake pans by greasing and flouring them.
- Cream the softened butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Pour in the melted white chocolate, vanilla extract, and almond extract, mixing until combined.
- Combine the flour, ground almonds, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl.
- Mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined, then gently fold in the fresh raspberries.
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool the cakes in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Prepare a white chocolate ganache or cream cheese frosting while the cakes cool.
- Assemble the cake by layering frosting and fresh raspberries between the layers, then frost the outside.
- Decorate with powdered sugar, almond slivers, and additional raspberries.
- Let the cake sit for 30 minutes before slicing.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or refrigerate for up to five days. For long-term storage, freeze the cake tightly wrapped.
