Instructions

Cake:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 8-inch round cake pans (or use parchment paper).

  6. Divide batter evenly between prepared pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool completely.

Frosting:

  1. In a large bowl, beat butter until fluffy. Gradually add powdered sugar, one cup at a time.
  2. Mix in melted white chocolate, vanilla extract, and heavy cream. Beat until smooth and creamy.

Assembly:

  1. Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of raspberry jam and, if desired, a few fresh raspberries.
  2. Repeat with the second layer.
  3. Add the final cake layer and frost the entire cake with white chocolate frosting.
  4. Garnish with fresh raspberries and white chocolate shavings.
