Ingredients

Cake

  • 180 g 6.3oz white chocolate, chopped
  • 350 g 12.3oz unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 ⅔ cups caster superfine sugar
  • 1 ½ cups milk
  • 2 cups plain flour
  • cups self raising flour
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 free-range eggs slightly beaten

Icing

  • 4 tablespoon butter softened
  • 100 g 3.5oz raspberries, fresh or frozen and thawed
  • 4 cups icing confectioner's sugar
  • A few tablespoon milk

Instructions

  • Pre-heat the oven to 140C (310F) fan-forced and grease and line two round 20cm cake tins.
  • In a large saucepan, combine the white chocolate, butter, sugar and milk and stir over medium heat until smooth.
  • Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and set aside to cool for at least 15 minutes.
  • In another bowl, sift the flours together and in a separate bowl, lightly whisk the eggs and vanilla.
  • Alternate between the flours and the eggs and whisk them into the chocolate mixture, half at a time. Whisk just until everything is incorporated.
  • Divide the batter evenly between the two tins and bake for 1h 45m or until a cake tester inserted in the middle comes out clean.
  • Leave the cakes to rest in the tins for 5 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the butter until light and creamy.
  • Add the raspberries and beat until smooth.
  • Slowly add the icing sugar beating until it is all mixed in.
  • Add a little milk to get it to a spreadable consistency and then beat for 2-3 minutes or until fluffy.
  • Slice the top off one of the cakes to flatten it out and place, bottom down, onto a serving plate.
  • Ice the cut side of the cake.
  • Trim the other cake then place it cut-side-down on top of the first cake.
  • Ice the cakes completely then decorate as you wish.
