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 the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the correct temperature before baking.
- Prepare the bundt pan: Grease the bundt pan thoroughly and dust it with flour to prevent the cake from sticking.
- Cream butter and sugar: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter and sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Add eggs: Crack in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition to ensure they are fully incorporated into the batter.
- Incorporate vanilla: Stir in the vanilla extract for flavor enhancement.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
- Combine wet and dry: Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients alternately with the milk, mixing gently but thoroughly to create a smooth batter.
- Fold in white chocolate chips and raspberries: Carefully fold in the white chocolate chips and fresh raspberries to distribute evenly without breaking the berries.
- Fill the bundt pan: Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the surface with a spatula if needed.
- Bake the cake: Place the bundt pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and unmold: Allow the cake to cool in the pan before carefully removing it to maintain its shape.
Notes
- Fresh raspberries are preferred for the best flavor and texture, but frozen can be used if fresh are unavailable; thaw and drain before adding.
- Ensure the butter is softened to room temperature for easier creaming with the sugar.
- Gently folding in the raspberries helps prevent them from breaking and coloring the batter too much.
- Baking times may vary depending on your oven; start checking for doneness at 50 minutes.
- If desired, dust the cooled cake with powdered sugar or drizzle with a white chocolate glaze for extra decoration.
