Description
A delightful cake with fresh raspberries and rich white chocolate ganache that makes for an irresistible dessert.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup milk
- 1 ½ cups fresh raspberries
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup white chocolate, chopped
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ½ cup grated white chocolate (for garnish)
- Fresh raspberries (for decoration)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a round cake pan.
- Prepare the Cake Batter:
In a bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract. In another bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the flour mixture to the creamed mixture alternately with milk, starting and ending with the flour. Mix until just combined.
- Add Raspberries:
Gently fold in the raspberries into the batter.
- Bake the Cake:
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Prepare White Chocolate Ganache:
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and add chopped white chocolate, stirring until smooth and melted. Let cool slightly to thicken.
- Assemble the Cake:
Once the cake is fully cool, pour the white chocolate ganache over the top, allowing it to drip down the sides. Garnish with grated white chocolate and fresh raspberries.
- Final Touches:
Allow the ganache to set slightly before serving.
Notes
- Ensure the raspberries are dry to prevent excess moisture in the cake.
- Use high-quality white chocolate for the best flavor in the ganache.
- Let the cake cool completely before pouring over the ganache to prevent it from melting too quickly.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of lemon zest to the batter.
