Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt, mixing thoroughly to ensure even distribution of the leavening agent and salt.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted unsalted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined, taking care not to overmix to keep the texture light and fluffy.
- Add Raspberries and White Chocolate Chips: Carefully fold in the fresh raspberries and white chocolate chips, dispersing them evenly throughout the batter without breaking the berries too much.
- Pour Batter into Pan: Transfer the batter into the prepared 9-inch round cake pan, smoothing the top evenly.
- Bake the Cake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating the cake is fully cooked.
- Cool the Cake: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Use fresh raspberries for the best flavor and texture, but frozen can be substituted if thawed and drained to avoid excess moisture.
- Do not overmix the batter to maintain the muffin cake’s light texture.
- Greasing the pan well or using parchment paper helps prevent sticking.
- White chocolate chips can be swapped with regular chocolate chips for a different flavor profile.
- Store leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
