Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and prepare three 8-inch round cake pans by greasing and flouring them.
- In one bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, cream butter and sugar until fluffy; add eggs one at a time, then vanilla extract and melted white chocolate.
- Gradually mix in the dry ingredients with whole milk until just combined.
- Divide the batter among the prepared pans and bake for 25–30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in pans for ten minutes before transferring to wire racks.
- For the raspberry filling, cook raspberries with sugar and lemon juice over medium heat until softened; add cornstarch slurry to thicken.
- For the frosting, beat butter until creamy, then gradually mix in powdered sugar, melted white chocolate, and enough milk to reach desired consistency.
- Assemble the cake by layering frosting and raspberry filling between cooled cake layers; frost the outside as desired.
