Description
A delightful and moist White Chocolate Raspberry Poke Cake that combines rich chocolate flavor with fresh raspberries and creamy white chocolate.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup whole milk
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for whipped cream)
- Raspberry sauce (store-bought or homemade, for drizzling)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until well blended.
- Add the milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix on medium speed for 2 minutes until smooth.
- Stir in the boiling water until fully combined (the batter will be thin). Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish.
- 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 poke holes all over the top using a fork or skewer.
- In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the white chocolate chips until smooth. Pour the melted chocolate over the cake, ensuring it seeps into the holes. Let the cake cool completely.
- In a medium bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in the fresh raspberries.
- Spread the raspberry whipped cream over the cooled cake. Drizzle with raspberry sauce before serving.
- Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before slicing.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, substitute half of the milk with brewed coffee.
- You can also use frozen raspberries if fresh ones are not available; just thaw and drain excess liquid before using.
