Description
A delicious and moist white chocolate raspberry poke cake that is perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 cup raspberry preserves
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- Fresh raspberries for garnish (optional)
- White chocolate shavings for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
- Fold in the white chocolate chips. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once the cake is cooled, use the handle of a wooden spoon to poke holes all over the top of the cake.
- Heat the raspberry preserves in a small saucepan over low heat until melted. Pour the warm preserves over the cake, allowing it to seep into the holes.
- In a medium bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Spread the whipped cream over the top of the cake.
- Garnish with fresh raspberries and white chocolate shavings, if desired. Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, melt an additional ½ cup of white chocolate and drizzle it over the whipped cream before serving.
- Substitute the raspberry preserves with strawberry or blueberry preserves for a different fruity twist.
