Instructions
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This is an essential step to ensure that your cake bakes evenly, becoming fluffy and moist. As the oven warms up, you’ll be filled with anticipation for the delicious aroma that will soon fill your kitchen.
In a large mixing bowl, combine your dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix these together until they are well combined. In a separate bowl, cream your softened butter and sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy. This process aerates the butter, allowing your cake to rise beautifully. Add in your eggs one at a time, making sure to mix well after each addition. Finally, stir in the vanilla extract and melted white chocolate until everything is coated in that creamy goodness.
Pour the cake batter into a greased rectangular baking dish. Spread it evenly to ensure a uniform rise. Bake in your preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes. To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of the cake; if it comes out clean or with a few crumbs, it’s time to take it out. The anticipation as the cake transforms in the oven is delightful!
Once the cake has cooled slightly, use the handle of a wooden spoon or a skewer to poke holes throughout the cake. Space them about an inch apart. This step is crucial because it allows the delicious white chocolate raspberry sauce to seep into the cake, ensuring each bite is a burst of flavor.
Make the raspberry sauce by gently heating fresh raspberries and sugar in a saucepan. Stir until the raspberries break down and the mixture becomes syrupy. You can also add a touch of lemon juice for a zesty twist. Pour this luscious sauce over the poked cake, ensuring it seeps into the holes for the ultimate flavor infusion.
For the finishing touch, whip together heavy cream and a sprinkle of powdered sugar until soft peaks form. This fluffy topping will contrast beautifully with the rich cake and tart raspberry sauce. Spread it generously over the cake, making sure every inch is covered.
To elevate your dessert, garnish with additional fresh raspberries and shavings of white chocolate. Once adorned, cover the cake and refrigerate it for at least a few hours, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully together. As it chills, you can take a moment to admire your creation!

Common Mistakes to Avoid
One common mistake is not allowing the cake to cool completely before poking holes. This can cause the raspberry sauce to soak into the cake poorly. Also, be careful not to over-mix the batter once you add the flour, as this can lead to a dense cake rather than the light texture you want for a White Chocolate Raspberry Delight.
