White Chocolate and raspberries are a match made in heaven. Until now, we haven’t had a cake on our site to really showcase this winning combination. We think that you’ll find this homemade white chocolate raspberry cake to be as flavorful as it is elegant.
The inclusion of white chocolate in the cake batter lends a subtle white chocolate flavor to the baked layers while also giving the cake a wonderful velvety texture. The cake is very moist but is firm enough to hold the weight of fondant.
Not only are the white chocolate cake layers and raspberry filling important to this dessert, but the White Chocolate Buttercream adds a delightful boost of white chocolate flavor to the cake, making it a necessary (not to mention delicious) component of this recipe.
Let’s meet two of our key players: Here’s a closeup of the Raspberry Filling… ahhhh.. Keep this recipe in mind for your cake and cupcake recipes! Raspberry tastes amazing with so many cakes, including chocolate, white, and lemon.
And then the White Chocolate Buttercream Frosting….
I love the consistency of this frosting, and the white chocolate flavor is PERFECT!
To assemble the cake, we first split the two thick white chocolate cake layers so that we would have four layers and therefore more layers of filling in each slice!
Next, we spread our white chocolate cake layers with a thin layer of the homemade raspberry filling, followed by a layer of white chocolate buttercream frosting.
As you can see in the photo, I didn’t pipe a buttercream ring/dam around the edge of the cake although you could. Instead, I spread on my filling without bringing it all the way to the edge of the cake layer.
Leaving that bit of space around the edge ensures that you won’t have issues with the raspberry filling spilling out once the layers are stacked.
After assembling the layers, I crumb coated my cake with a thin crumb coat layer of the white chocolate buttercream, chilled it in the freezer until firm (about 15 minutes), and then followed with a thicker layer of the white chocolate frosting. We’re going for a rustic look and so I didn’t worry with smoothing ;0)
I also applied several stars with a french piping tip (Ateco 863), and garnished with fresh raspberries. The finished cake stands just under 4 inches.
That’s all there is to it! We hope that you enjoy this recipe as much as we have! It would be perfect for any number of special occasions including bridal and baby showers, birthdays, and weddings!
