A delicious and creamy White Chocolate Raspberry Mousse Cake that is perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 8 ounces white chocolate, chopped
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon gelatin powder
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan.
- In a mixing bowl, combine flour, granulated sugar, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt. Mix until smooth.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let it cool completely in the pan.
- While the cake is cooling, melt the white chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with the powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Gently fold the melted white chocolate into the whipped cream until well combined.
- In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over cold water and let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom. Then, heat it in the microwave for about 10 seconds until dissolved. Stir in lemon juice.
- Fold the dissolved gelatin into the white chocolate mousse mixture.
- Gently fold in the fresh raspberries, reserving a few for garnish.
- Place the cooled cake on a serving plate. Spread the raspberry mousse evenly over the top of the cake. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
- Before serving, garnish with remaining raspberries and additional whipped cream if desired.
Notes
- For a chocolate twist, substitute half of the white chocolate with dark chocolate.
- Add a layer of raspberry jam between the cake and mousse for extra raspberry flavor.
