  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract Enhances the flavor.
  • 2 cups All-purpose flour Provides structure for the cake.
  • 1 tablespoon Baking powder Leavening agent for the cake.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt Enhances flavor.
  • 1 cup Milk Adds moisture to the batter.
  • 1 cup White chocolate chips Adds sweetness and creaminess.
  • 1 cup Fresh raspberries Provides tartness and color.

Caramel Drizzle Ingredients

  • 1 cup Granulated sugar Base for the caramel sauce.
  • 1/4 cup Unsalted butter Adds richness to the caramel.
  • 1/2 cup Heavy cream Creates a smooth caramel sauce.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract Enhances the caramel flavor.
  • 1 pinch Salt Balances the sweetness of the caramel.

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar using an electric mixer for about 3-4 minutes until light and fluffy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, mixing until just combined.
  • Gently fold in the white chocolate chips and fresh raspberries, being careful not to break the raspberries.
  • Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cakes cool in the pans for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • To make the white chocolate ganache, chop 1 cup of white chocolate and place it in a heatproof bowl. Heat 1/2 cup of heavy cream in a saucepan until it simmers, then pour over the chocolate and stir until smooth.
  • For the caramel drizzle, combine 1 cup of granulated sugar and 1/4 cup of unsalted butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until melted and bubbling.
  • Carefully add 1/2 cup of heavy cream while stirring continuously. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Let cool slightly.
  • Assemble the cake by placing one layer on a serving plate, spreading a layer of white chocolate ganache on top, then adding the second layer. Drizzle the warm caramel sauce over the top.
  • Garnish with additional raspberries or white chocolate shavings if desired.
