- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup milk
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups fresh raspberries (or frozen, thawed)

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare two 9-inch round cake pans by greasing and flouring them.
- Macerate the raspberries by combining them with sugar and lemon juice, then let them sit for 15 minutes.
- Combine dry ingredients: whisk flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
- Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, mixing thoroughly after each addition, then stir in vanilla extract.
- Alternate adding the dry ingredients and milk, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the macerated raspberries gently.
- Pour the batter into prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes.
- Cool the cakes for 10 minutes in pans, then turn them out onto wire racks to cool completely.
- Make the frosting by beating butter until creamy, then slowly add powdered sugar and melted white chocolate, adjusting with milk for consistency.
- Frost cooled cakes and stack them with frosting in between layers and on top.
Notes
For a vegan option, substitute butter and eggs with plant-based alternatives. You can also add nuts for crunch or mix in different berries.
