Categories     dessert

Time 3h45m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

Cooking spray, for the pans
2 1/2 cups cake flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
One 1.4-ounce box white chocolate pudding
1 cup milk
1 cup white chocolate chips
1/2 cup vegetable oil
4 large eggs, at room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups fresh raspberries
1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon cornstarch
3/4 cup heavy cream
7 ounces dark chocolate, coarsely chopped
2 sticks (1 cup) butter
1 cup shortening
1 teaspoon vanilla
5 cups confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat two 9-inch round cake pans with cooking spray.
  • Whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and pudding mix in a medium bowl. Set aside. Bring the milk to a boil and add the white chocolate chips. Let stand, covered, for 5 minutes, then stir until completely incorporated. Allow the white chocolate mixture to cool completely. Beat the oil, eggs and white chocolate mixture in a large bowl with an electric mixer until fully incorporated, about 2 minutes. Add the vanilla and reduce the speed to low. Gradually add the flour mixture, beating until combined, about 3 minutes.
  • Divide the batter evenly among the prepared pans. Bake until golden and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn out on wire racks to cool completely, about 45 minutes.
  • For the raspberry filling: Combine the raspberries, sugar, lemon juice and cornstarch in a small saucepan. Place over medium-high heat and slowly bring to a boil, stirring constantly until thickened. Let cool completely, about 45 minutes.
  • For the chocolate ganache: Heat the heavy cream to boiling. Pour over the chocolate in a heat-proof bowl. Stir until completely smooth. Allow to cool to room temperature, about 45 minutes.
  • For the buttercream: Beat the butter, shortening and vanilla in a large bowl with an electric mixer until combined and smooth, about 2 minutes. Add the confectioners' sugar and beat until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  • To assemble the cake: Level both cakes by running a sharp knife around the top edge of each cake, scoring it, then carefully cutting through the cakes along the score lines. Fill a piping back fitted with a No.12 tip with buttercream icing. Pipe a dam around the inside of the bottom layer of cake. Inside the dam, spread a very thin layer of raspberry filling, about 3 tablespoons (for this filling, less is more). Then top with a more generous layer of chocolate ganache, about a quarter-inch thick. Stack the other cake layer on top and cover the whole cake with buttercream icing.

WHITE CHOCOLATE CAKE



White chocolate cake image

If you're celebrating a special occasion, this layer cake makes a great centrepiece. It's topped with silky white chocolate ganache and fresh raspberries

Provided by Liberty Mendez

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h25m

Yield Serves 16-18

Number Of Ingredients 11

300g butter, softened, plus extra for the tins
300g caster sugar
5 large eggs, beaten
1 tsp vanilla bean paste
1 tsp baking powder
300g self-raising flour
100g white chocolate, finely chopped
350g fresh raspberries, halved
450g white chocolate, finely chopped
200ml double cream
1 tbsp vanilla paste

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Butter three 18cm sandwich cake tins and line with baking parchment. Beat together the butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla, baking powder and flour using a stand mixer or electric hand whisk until you have a fluffy mixture, about 5 mins. Fold in the white chocolate until it's well distributed throughout.
  • Divide the mixture evenly between the tins and level out using a palette knife or the back of a spoon until smooth. Bake for 25-30 mins until a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean. Remove from the oven and leave the sponges to cool in the tins for 10 mins, then remove from the tins and transfer to a cooling rack, top side down, and leave to cool completely. If the sponges are not level use a serrated knife to cut away the peaks.
  • While the sponges are cooling, make the ganache. Put the white chocolate in a large bowl. Pour the cream into a saucepan over a medium heat and bring to a simmer. Immediately pour the cream over the chocolate and leave to stand for 4-5 mins until the chocolate has melted. Mix together to form a smooth ganache, ensuring all the chocolate has fully melted, then mix in the vanilla. Chill in the fridge for 30 mins, stirring occasionally so it doesn't completely harden, until spreadable and thick enough to coat the cake.
  • Once the sponges are cool and the ganache has set to a spreadable consistency, you can construct the cake. Place one sponge on a serving plate, spread over a thin layer of the chocolate ganache, then fill the middle with a third of the raspberries. Place another sponge on top and repeat with a layer of ganache and another third of raspberries. Put the final sponge on top and gently coat the whole cake with a thin layer of ganache. Leave in the fridge to set for at least 20 mins. To finish, spread over any remaining ganache and top with the remaining raspberries. Will keep chilled for up to three days in an airtight container.

WHITE CHOCOLATE LAYER CAKE WITH RASPBERRY FILLING

This is an impressive cake that tastes good all by itself even without the raspberry filling. I made it for my mother-in-law for Mother's Day and she was guarding it so everyone wouldn't eat it all! Store in the refrigerator.

Categories     Chocolate Cake

Time 2h20m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 19

¼ cup milk
12 ounces white chocolate, chopped
2 cups all-purpose flour
¾ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon baking powder
¾ cup white sugar
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 large eggs
¾ cup sour cream
1 ½ cups heavy cream
¾ cup fresh raspberries
3 tablespoons white sugar
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
6 ounces white chocolate, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Take two 9-inch round baking pans and either line bottoms with parchment paper to prevent sticking or take a shortening stick and grease the pans, then sprinkle with flour.
  • Pour milk over chopped white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl; microwave in 30-second intervals until smooth.
  • Combine flour, baking soda, salt, and baking powder in a small bowl.
  • Beat white sugar and butter together in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy. Gradually blend in melted chocolate mixture and vanilla extract. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add flour mixture alternately with sour cream. Pour evenly into the prepared cake pans.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a wooden toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes; make sure you don't overbake. Cool for 15 minutes; remove cakes from pans. Cool completely in the freezer for about 30 minutes to make them easier to cut the layers.
  • Combine heavy cream, raspberries, and sugar for filling in a small mixing bowl; beat until stiff peaks form. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Beat cream cheese and butter for frosting in a large mixing bowl on medium speed until well blended. Add melted chocolate and vanilla; mix well. Add powdered sugar gradually, beating until light and fluffy after each addition.
  • Split cake layers horizontally in half. Place 1 layer on a cake plate and spread 1/3 of the raspberry filling over top. Repeat with two more layers and remaining filling. Top with last layer and frost cake with cream cheese frosting.

  • If you don't have apricot preserves, you can use any other type of fruit preserves or jam.
