Method
- 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.
