Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup milk
Add-ins
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking your cake perfectly.
- Prepare the Pan: Grease and flour a bundt pan thoroughly to prevent the cake from sticking and to achieve a smooth release after baking.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat together the softened unsalted butter and sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This helps create a tender cake texture.
- Add Eggs: Incorporate the eggs one at a time into the creamed mixture, mixing well after each addition to ensure even distribution and a smooth batter.
- Add Vanilla Extract: Stir in the vanilla extract to infuse the batter with a sweet, aromatic flavor.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening and seasoning.
- Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry mixture, stirring gently to keep the batter smooth but not overmixed to retain a tender crumb.
- Fold in Add-ins: Carefully fold in the white chocolate chips and fresh raspberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed without breaking the raspberries too much.
- Pour Batter into Pan: Transfer the batter into the prepared bundt pan, spreading it evenly for uniform baking.
- Bake the Cake: Place the bundt pan in the oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating the cake is done.
- Cool and Remove: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 15-20 minutes before carefully turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
Notes
- If fresh raspberries are unavailable, frozen raspberries can be used; just be sure to thaw and drain them to avoid excess moisture.
- Do not overmix the batter after adding the dry ingredients to prevent a dense cake.
- Make sure the butter is softened to room temperature for easier creaming with sugar.
- For additional flavor, you can drizzle the cooled cake with a white chocolate glaze or dust with powdered sugar.
